Ashleigh Hale shed tears as she opened up about her relationship with her step-aunt Meghan Markle in a bombshell new Netflix series. The streaming service's brand new documentary, Harry & Meghan, takes a look into the lives of the royal couple from their own perspective.
The series, split into six episodes with the first three available to watch now, features a number of Harry and Meghan’s close friends and relatives, including Ashleigh, the daughter of Meghan’s elder half-sister Samantha Markle. Ashleigh and Meghan both talk about having a special bond after connecting with each other around 15 years ago, but strained family relationships meant she was unable to attend the Royal Wedding of Harry and Meghan in 2018.
Ashleigh, who is an attorney, told the programme that it was agreed when she was a child that she would be raised by her paternal grandparents, who went on to adopt her. In the documentary, Meghan recalls hearing from her father, Thomas Markle, that Samantha had found her biological daughter and was in touch with her.
