January 18, 2021Goodreads, why are you allowing the bellow people to write scathing personal attacks on the author? They have admitted they haven’t read the book. These reviews should be removed with immediate effect.

Better than I thought it would be...and people who haven’t read it, like more than half of the reviews shouldn’t be allowed to post reviews. Trying to ruin a person’s book for political reasons is just wrong.

Based on the synopsis the "author" cannot write for [X].
Also the "author" is 17 years older than the subject in question who had almost no contact with her and had zero contact with her while she was dating her now husband which makes me wonder what she has to say about anything except she is evil.
Also "fake news"? Lord. I cannot with any more Trump supporters.

Have purchased and read unlike all the Meghan sugars on here. Let’s just say Harry should have listened to Samantha’s warnings before he married her!

Although I am someone with a neuromuscular disability and someone who has survived family dysfunction (and so I can discern based on lifelong experience), I have never related to Samantha Markle, and I have seen her as manipulative and pandering. We are all speculating, and I view her as an abuser who is actively harming a family, and the image of the disability community. I hope one day she is at peace and turns to kindness and not dollar signs, without her estranged sister occupying her head rent-free.
Can’t help but notice the 5 star reviews calling one star reviews “personal attacks” when the book you are defending is 300 pages of them. Also referring to people’s negative reviews as “political attacks” sounds very trumpian. You might as well just admit you’re racist.
Samantha Markle doesn’t deserve to be in my reading history.

To users 'Obsidian' and 'Francisco Lua' who are writing bad reviews about this book and making personal attacks on author Samantha Markle, it appears that you could be Meghan Markle pretending to be an anonymous reviewer. You know too much about Samantha and her personal history to be general public.

This read more like someone stroking their own hate boner for someone they don't know very well but they can't stop feeling bitter over it and that all accumulated into the creation of this book.
I would have given the book two stars if the writing wasn't atrocious. But it was.
Edit 9/3/21: After watching the now-famous Oprah interview of Meghan and Harry, I find myself even more disgusted by the author of this book. It speaks volumes that Samantha changed her surname back to Markle only when Meghan started dating royalty.
*sigh* I just want to forget about this book's existence and pull an Olaf.
Edit 14/5/21: Robin wrote: "Do your research. Samantha changed her name back to Markle after her divorce - long before her sister even met Harry. You're believing all the lies told in the interview - proven lies."
Okay, Robin, I'm gonna do fifteen minutes of research for you.
In all honesty, I'd say it is so easy to disbelieve Samantha when her character herself is untrustworthy.
One pertinent example is her interview with The Sun, where she called Meghan a shallow, social climber who did not deserve to be a royal family member. Then comes the interview with Good Morning Britain where she basically endorsed her half-sister, describing her as a very animated, very charming, very lively, absolutely lovely woman (not my words, Samantha's words). And then her interview afterwards with Fiji, Fev and Nick (an Australian radio show), she then accuses Meghan of suffering from narcissistic personality disorder? She changes her tunes more often than a professional flute player. How do we trust someone who's writing a tell-all biography to include truths when their words are so unreliable?
Furthermore, another example is Samantha's ex-husband, Scott Rasmussen. Now, I don't put much faith in exes and that sort but it's still important to consider his opinion when thinking about context. According to Rasmussen's interview, his “fame hungry” ex-wife is exaggerating her relationship with Meghan and he also said that his ex-wife “should act with some dignity, keep her mouth shut, and leave everybody else alone.” Which....is fair. Freedom of speech exists but when you're using it to be a leech on your half-sister, maybe that's the time to reconsider your priorities in life. Samantha did respond to him by saying that he just wanted to take advantage of Meghan's high profile which is highly ironic coming from her, in my opinion. This is not to say that Rasmussen doesn't sound like a douche, which he does, but I don't know any of these people personally. We can only analyse what we know about them from their interactions in media and their personal choices.
This is sad to say but it's so obvious to see how manufactured Samantha's obsession with Meghan Markle is, just look at her old Tweets. Hell, you could even find what Samantha's daughter had to say about her after a few minutes of research.
The only reason why most people even like The Diary of Princess's Sister, Part 1 is because it proves their narrative of Meghan. Have a look at the 4 star and 5 star reviews. it's not even the content of the writing or the quality of it (which would not even receive good grades in high school, did this book even have an editor lmao) which attracted most of the high-scoring reviews. Seriously! Have a look and see what they all have in common. Like vultures around a feeding ground.
Let me conclude this by giving a shout-out to the people who rated the book objectively. You gave it five stars because you genuinely enjoyed the perspective of an outsider on the Royal Family? Amazing. Love that for you. You gave it one star because you honestly didn't like it? That's fine, I hated it as well. Not every book is for everyone. You gave it three stars because you liked it but you didn't think it was amazing? That's fine too! Just want to remind people that the rating system on Goodreads was not meant as a polling booth for how much you like or dislike certain people in media.

Book written out of spite.
February 6, 2021
A surprisingly great read. I needed this! Warm, honest, funny, relatable! A must read!
February 23, 2021
Slanderous trash written by a bitter, manipulative, narcissistic woman who can’t stand her half-sister living her best life. Meghan has been the victim of Samantha and Thomas Markle’s abusive gaslighting for years, and this book is a prime example of it. Samantha tries to present Meghan in a passively negative light where it can be argued by people who have terrible reading comprehension that she isn’t saying anything bad, but it’s clear that Samantha is disguising her memoir as yet another slam piece against Meghan. Good riddance.
February 18, 2021
This book says nothing about Meghan - but it sure let's us know who Samantha Grant is - I hope she seeks help.
October 18, 2023
While this book is in desperate need of a decent of a grammar makeover, it is sincere account of the Markle family and how awful they were treated by the press and Meghan. I can't wait for the next volume!
February 15, 2021
The book reeks of spite and obsession with a successful half-sister the author hasn't spoken to for years and never shared a roof with. Meghan Markle haters will love it; Meghan Markle fans will hate it. It won't change any minds and lacks any facts to be a "tell-all."
February 7, 2021
TLDR: what I took from this book was:
Samantha Markle has a disability, so people should be extra nice to her. Her disability caused massive hardships in her life even when she ran five minute miles and didn’t believe she had MS. Meghan and everyone else should have understood how hard this disability was, even if Samantha didn’t show any symptoms or talk about it until later in life. Samantha is not racist and didn’t believe racism existed even though her maternal grandmother said racist things all the time. Samantha was a model and is a screenwriter who made a movie her dad agreed to help with but that Meghan was too busy and selfish to act in (probably, but who knows - Samantha never even told her about it). Samantha was an excellent mother and selflessly let her first two children be raised their paternal grandparents. Her third child threw a tantrum over Samantha’s boyfriend, and she made up lies so a restraining order would be issued against Samantha. Samantha is a great mother, so she will forgive her third child if she wants to work on their relationship.
Meghan Markle was spoiled as a child and continues to be spoiled to this day. Men love her and will do anything she asks (except disown their children). She has never been as good of a daughter as Samantha. Meghan basically stole the ballerina music boxes Samantha cherished as a child, and Thomas let her get away with it. Thomas, and everyone else, let Meghan get away with everything (even horrible things like throwing blueberries on the floor as a baby). Meghan is so controlling that she once reminded Samantha to put the cap back on the toothpaste. This reminder proves she wanted Thomas Markle to love only her. Megan tells people stories about her life that Samantha says didn’t happen. Meghan never made apple butter with her Grandmother Markle and barely even knew the woman. Grandmother Markle only made apple butter with Samantha and Tom, and Meghan certainly didn’t know the woman as well as Samantha did. Meghan has always had the best of everything, including fashion. Her wedding dress cost $750,000, while Kate Middleton’s wedding dress only cost $299.
Doria smoked weed and hid nude photos of herself in her dresser drawer while very young and married to Thomas Markle. Both of these things are terrible. Doria is probably the reason Meghan gave people weed at her wedding to the perfect husband, Trevor. Doria probably does not like Samantha or Tom. There is proof because she named her business Three Cherubs instead of Five Cherubs. Samantha definitely does not like Doria, but she admits Doria can make good gumbo.
Samantha also does not like her slutty mother, Roslyn. Roslyn had boyfriends and dared to go out on dates when Samantha and Tom spent time with their dad. Roslyn liked to have sex, and that is terrible.
Thomas Markle is basically a saint who was handsome at one time and is the best father in the entire world, hands down. He is not, and has never been, a deadbeat dad - even when he left his children with their abusive mother when he moved to CA and didn’t speak with Samantha or his son, Tom, for what sounds like years. Thomas Markle didn’t attend Megan’s wedding both because he wasn’t really invited and also because he had a heart attack (side note: I’m not sure how both can be true, but okay). Thomas Markle should have been granted a coat of arms by the Queen, but Meghan said no.
The Markle family is not inbred, unlike the British Royal Family. The Markles only did interviews about Meghan to set the record straight about all of the other interviews they did about Meghan - it was not for the money.
**************
If you are reading this book hoping to learn new gossip about Meghan Markle, you should probably skip it and just read the tabloids. If, however, you want to learn about how Samantha Markle views her own life in relation to Meghan’s and how she wants history to remember her, this is your book. If I could go back in time and choose whether to buy this book again, I would still pay the $18. I wish I could have just paid it directly to Samantha since the publishing company did her so dirty with the editing. The book was entertaining and well-written. Overall, I enjoyed the book but struggled with some large editing issues that could have been easily resolved by one more read-thru in the final format before it went to print. Samantha deserves a better editor before Part II comes out.
Let me say that I actually “like” Samantha Markle. I do believe she and her family were, and continue to be, dogged by the media and her sister. I know I would also be upset and bitter if I had been treated in the same manner. Honestly, if I could make bank writing a book about my crappy relationship with my older sister and our falling out, I would do it in a heartbeat. I agree with her that she should be free to speak her mind about her life and family, and that if media is making money off of her and her life, she should also reap the financial benefits. If people don’t want the mean things they do to be written about, they should be nicer. *insert shruggie
Despite feeling empathy for Samantha Markle, my problem with this book is the same as my problem was with Finding Freedom. In both books, neither Markle girl did anything wrong, and everyone is out to get them. The books make it seem as if both women are completely selfless, and any actions that may seem selfish have been taken out of context or greatly distorted to intentionally hurt them. It would be a nice change of pace if anyone in the Markle family could reflect on their actions and see the role they played in the failed relationships they leave in their wake. Instead of doing that and admitting they messed up, blame is placed squarely on the shoulders of other parties.
Honestly, this book just continues to show the world how exhausting it must be to be a part of such a narcissistic family. Their dysfunction is making them all a lot of money though, so I guess it’s panning out for them?
Even though this book wasn’t trove of hot goss I was hoping for, I’m still team Samantha and Thomas if we’re choosing sides (even though claiming Meghan’s wedding dress cost $750,000 and Kate Middleton’s cost $299 is just an outrageous claim that is easily disproved by doing a quick google). I’ll buy her next book, but I really hope it’s not going to somehow turn into a trilogy. Or maybe I do??? Eeek

March 2, 2021I want a refund. Samantha Markle lied. She was in Albuquerque, New Mexico marrying and having children while Meghan was growing up in LA, Calif. Meghan was 4 when Samantha had her 1st child. She omitted that she abused all 3 of her children and they were taken by the court. The eldest 2 because of criminal neglect, who were raised by their paternal grandparents. The youngest was removed May 2015 because of physical & mental abuse by Samantha & boyfriend Mark Philips.
February 16, 2021
This book is excellent!!- Sam was telling the truth all along- I’m glad that people are finally listening. I was not surprised to find out how fake and manipulative that Meghan is- it sounds like that the family was just not good enough for Meghan once she became well known. She used her own father to get ahead , and dumped him - funny how she is still preaching about love and acceptance!! If you haven’t read the book, I suggest you do , it’s a great read. For those who are leaving reviews without reading this book- your review is should not be allowed on here!!!! If you haven’t read it - why are you commenting? You just have a grudge against Samantha , and come of as being immature!!!!!
February 17, 2021
I am looking forward to reading this. I watched Lady Colin Campbell’s review of The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister and she says the book is quite credible. From everything I have read and heard from people who know this family, everything Meghan Markle has spun about her life and family has been lies, and her actions from the moment she married Harry, registering domains etc.. and setting up merchandising opportunities smacks of exploitation. Apparently Samantha’s book has sold better than Omid Scabies book

I’m not sure why this book is listed on Goodreads twice since it seems like all the reviews should be on the same page, but if you would like to read my lengthy review (caution - SPOILERS), please see it here under the other listing for the same book (which was actually released on Feb. 1, 2021):

Although I had several issues with this book and the way Samantha Markle presents herself, I give it four stars for entertainment value. I’d recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning about Samantha Markle’s life and how she views her relationships with Meghan Markle and other family members. However, if you are looking for gossip about Meghan Markle that you haven’t read in the tabloids, this is not the book for you.

I was given this to borrow and actually thought the book seemed like a very honest account of what happened. It wasn't one sided and was very interesting.
April 5, 2021
I wasn't planning on reading this. I thought it's just another book by a bitter relative of a celebrity. Then the Oprah interview happened and the phrase I hate "are you ready to tell your truth" as opposed to "the truth". And we all know now there were quite a few easily provable lies there. Since they got their truth out and despite not watching or wanting to see the interview I was bombarded with highlights and opinions, sometimes ignorant sometimes valid for over a week, I needed balance so I got the book to hear Samantha's truth. Do I think she was totally honest? Probably not. Memoirs and autobiography are notoriously false because most people try to paint themselves in a positive light and leave the negative aspects out or sugar coat things. But one small anecdote toward the end made me think there's some truth to what Samantha is saying. This was written before the interview, and during said interview Meghan said I was basically raised as an only child, dismissing her two older siblings. In the book Samantha says Meghan hinged her father's wedding invitation on the condition that he disown Samantha and her brother Tom so she could be an only child. So that got me thinking yeah she's probably fairly truthful here. For those thinking it's a salacious gossip trashy book it's not. She tries to be fair to her sister and doesn't completely trash her. She even has hope Meghan can become a kinder person and change. Samantha truly doesn't like Doria and has quite a few stories about her too that I won't get into, but just read the book if you want to know. But overall this book is exactly what it is. A memoir. She starts with her grandparents and parents then her own childhood. She talks about her MS in a realistic way, denying she was sick as long as she could until she couldn't run from it literally. Then the annoyances that come with being in a wheelchair and how tough it is getting around in a chair. Meghan doesn't factor in until about half way through. There are small signs that pop up to show what she would become. Most of what she's said has happened and it baffles me that she continues to have such a blind following where she can do no wrong. Like her or not no one is perfect and holding anyone up like they are is a dangerous thing. While overall it was a decent read, this book does have its flaws. The reader is constantly told that Samantha is not racist and how multicultural her upbringing was, it got old after a while. I get it you're a good person. Move on. There were the usual typos and errors that come with self published books. It paints a portrait of a very dysfunctional family. No one really comes out looking good except Thomas Markle, who broke my heart. As someone who lost a parent to heart surgery I wish him well. He sounded a lot like my own dad, supportive, caring would do anything for his kids. But one difference is our dad told us no and I doubt he told his kids especially Meghan no. It wasn't spectacular writing nothing really new was revealed but it was entertaining and I'd be interested in reading part two when it comes out.

I left a five star review for this book- and now it’s showing only 2 stars!!! I really liked this book and recommend it!!!

Interesting read. It’s a sad shame that no one took the author’s warning of the mentally ill meghan, when Samantha tried to enlighten the world. It could have saved harry from his hellish trajectory.

I have never been impressed with MM. she has no class and looks hard and selfish. This book confirms what I have thought from the beginning. Fake news is fake news. I wish the media would try and publish the truth, but the truth won’t sell the tabloids.
I feel so bad for Mr Markle and his two other children. Why is she ashamed of her family? I also feel for Harry, he is so under the MM drug that he has lost all sense of reality. When she realizes she can’t fight the British Royal family and win, she’ll dump him and get loads of money in a settlement, but she won’t have the kids of the title, which she doesn’t deserve.
She is a humiliation to HRH Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the firm.

This is a very fair and true account of life as the big Sister of Rachel Markle.
Samanatha, her brother,Thomas Junior and especially her father, Thomas senior did a remarkable job brining up Rachel and without a doubt Thomas did his absolute best and beyond in bringing up his children as ( for most part) a single parent, he truly comes across as the kindest, most generous father that anyone would be proud to have.
Lady Colin Campbell has given Samatha book an in depth review on you tube that I would recommend anyone interested in the subject to watch .
Good luck Samantha with the success of your book , definitely looking forward to the sequel.

I like this book. It's a family story but in the process exposes the many lies of Meghan Markle (she did not grow up an only child, she did not pay her own way through college, she was obsessed with the royal family yet claimed to not know who Prince Harry was). So many cringe-worthy moments! Oprah should have read this before pandering to Meghan's lies in the interview. Oprah: "What do you do for a living, Meghan?" Meghan: "I tell lies, destroy families, and sue or screw people to make money! "

I have never seen such a poorly edited book. Even if you get past the bad spelling and grammar it offers little insight. Apparently, as a baby Meghan threw Her blueberries on the floor. Who cares? This a jealous sister attempting to cash in any way she can. I was hoping this wasn’t the case but this book proves it.

If you want to learn about where Meghan Markle REALLY grew up and about the family she ALWAYS had this is a good read. Great one to add to a collection.

Inspiring and eye-opening. It's amazing how much torment this author took while being slandered by her narcissist sister under the guise of Royal and celebrity status. Money really does corrupt. It was nice to learn about Samantha's challenges with disability and interesting perspective on social labeling and stereotypes as they pertain to disability and skin color. Interesting family Dynamics and important social issues are addressed. Recommend.
