Meghan Markle's family has been at the center of media attention since her royal wedding in May. From her father, Thomas Markle, staging photos with paparazzi to her sister, Samantha Markle, blasting the royal family on Twitter, the Duchess of Sussex has openly cut ties with her attention-seeking relatives.

Now, Samantha Markle has flown to the UK in attempts of making contact with her half-sister. Even though she pleaded to meet with Meghan outside of Buckingham Palace, Samantha was left outside in the cold.

As a guest on Jeremy Vine's talk show, Samantha issued a public apology to the Duchess. "I would just say that there is so much water under the bridge and so much has spun out of control that was never intended to. And you know, I think everybody was hurt not being included or invited to the wedding, but I felt as though it could have all been nipped in the bud had everyone been included, and we all just agreed to move forward with positive resolve," she said.

Samantha continued to explain that "The hurt feelings wouldn't have snowballed, but believe it or not, it doesn't mean that we love you any less, I just think that families can be this way when there is confusion and people are hurt. So moving forward, I apologize and wish things could be different."

Do you think the Duchess of Sussex will hear her family's plea? Or move on with her new royal in-laws?
