Her half-sister 53 quickly took to Twitter to brand her delusional and a liar, saying she missed out a very important detail in her speech.
According to Samantha, Meghan only finished primary school, so the fact that she has a university degree is just nonsense.
Furthermore, no one knows what Meghan's college life was like, so her saying she went to college is hard to believe.
Samantha Markle branded her sister as a liar after she gave a speech about the difficulties of paying to go to university, saying their father paid for her tuition.
Mr Markle, who has been famously cut out of his daughter's new life as a royal, worked as an Emmy award-winning lighting director on hit US TV shows such as General Hospital and Married with Children before retiring to Mexico 8 years ago.
He claims he funded a teenage Meghan's expensive holidays abroad, including a visit to Britain where she was photographed outside Buckingham Palace.
Mr Markle described himself as a proud man who has never asked his daughter for a penny despite suffering financial setbacks over the years and losing the vast majority of his lottery winnings in a bad business deal.
Meghan gave a different impression in her speech, saying, “As a university graduate, I know the personal feeling of pride and excitement that comes with attending university.
From the moment you receive your acceptance letters to the exams you spend countless late nights studying for, the lifelong friendships you make with your fellow alumni, and the moment you receive your diploma.
The journey of higher education is an incredible, impactful and pivotal one.”
Samantha Markle is an older paternal half-sister of the Duchess of Sussex and the daughter of Thomas Markle, Sir and Rosalind Markle.
She suffered injuries after a fall from a rope swing that caused paralysis of her left side and blindness in one eye.
She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2008 and has been using a wheelchair ever since.
In Netflix's Harry and Meghan docuseries, Meghan slammed her estranged half-sister, accusing Samantha Markle of fabricating their relationship amid her royal fame.
Meghan has now launched a Netflix docuseries, and Harry has released a half-price memoir spare.
Notably joining the show lineup of friends and family members was Markle's niece, Alicia Hale.
In the emotional interview she gives to the camera, it is clear to see that she and Markle shared a particularly close bond, but that was apparently interrupted after Markle claimed she was given advice by Buckingham Palace to uninvite Hale from her wedding.
Meghan's speech at the University of the South Pacific Suba campus in Fiji was about the challenges of funding further education.
She said, “I'm also fully aware of the challenges of being able to afford this level of schooling for many people around the world, myself included.
It was through scholarships, financial aid programs, and work-study where my earnings from my job on campus went directly towards my tuition that I was able to attend university, and without question, it was worth every effort.”
Providing access to education is vital, especially for women and girls in developing countries.
Meghan believes that education is the key to economic and social development.
