In it, she allegedly claims he stopped answering\u00a0his phone and &#8220;chose to only speak to tabloids.&#8221;\u00a0She accuses him and Samantha of lying to the press about her and also\u00a0allegedly adds that she &#8220;barely knows&#8221; her half-sister.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That letter was strategic, it was so elegantly written and contrived,&#8221; Samantha says in the documentary, as seen in a video posted by the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-6763553\/Samantha-Markle-reveals-bitter-feud-sister-began-Prince-Harry-comment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Daily Mail<\/a><\/em>. &#8220;She was basically saying that, you know, my dad had been a liar, that I was a liar. He has text messages on his phone galore. This is a no-brainer. The evidence all says she was not contacting him, so it doesn&#8217;t matter what her letter says.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are a lifespan of pictures and experiences together, so maybe it&#8217;s convenient for her, that in her mind, she doesn&#8217;t know us because she doesn&#8217;t want to because she wants [to take] center stage,&#8221; Samantha continues. &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t maliciously lying. I was pointing out what the world was already seeing. I pointed out that humanitarians don&#8217;t treat their father coldly. Was that a lie? No, because the world watched it happen to my dad, and the world watched her do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The documentary notes that Meghan&#8217;s friends dispute this.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"video-int-txt-3\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"35.5\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-video-text\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"11\">\n<p>In the documentary, Samantha also\u00a0reveals that her family&#8217;s feud with Meghan began after Harry said in a 2017 BBC Radio 4 interview that he supposes that his royal family is the one she &#8220;never had.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The first thing I thought was I don&#8217;t think Harry has been given the full story,&#8221; Samantha says on the program, according to the Daily Mail. &#8220;Something was not right.
