Meghan's sister Samantha Markle speaks out after royal baby's birth

Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry welcomed their first baby and naturally the royal's estranged half-sister Samantha Markle has something to say about it.

Markle told the Daily Mail that she believes Archie will grow up "to be an exceptional man", and shared that she hopes Meghan will reach out to their father, Thomas Markle, as "life is too short".

She added: "Well I love it! I'm already an aunt and am lucky enough to have Thomas and Tyler as my nephews."

However, she couldn't help but get a slight dig in, telling the outlet that the ball is in the new mum's court when it comes to reaching out. "'What I think is incredible is that it's a great moment historically and although the adults have a lot of water under the bridge, I would really like to see everyone reach out," she said. "We've extended the olive branch and now it is Meghan's turn."
