And as the Duchess of Sussex prepares to give birth, the 54-year-old has once again grabbed headlines with her promise to "hold nothing back".

She revealed the first part of her book - subtly entitled In the Shadow of the Duchess - would be "out by the end of April".

'NOT A NEGATIVE PAMPHLET'

“It is an honest warm and witty and heartfelt memoir," Samantha told . "Not a negative pamphlet."

“(But) all positive?" she continued. "Subjective, I suppose, but most intelligent and reasonable people will like it.

People seem to want dirt. My book is not dirt… but it’s not fluff either

Samantha Markle

“Let’s just say the nasty gossip about her on the internet is negative and by comparison my book is not. People seem to want dirt. My book is not dirt… but it’s not fluff either.”

The second part of the book will be out in July, weeks before Meghan's birthday.

Samantha has frequently criticised Meghan, 37, publicly about her relationship with their father as well as her.

Neither Samantha nor her father attended the Royal Wedding, after her dad pulled out due to illness just days before.

'SICK OF THE BULLS**T'

Older sis has even hit out at Meghan for being “cold”, going as far as to blame her should Thomas Markle Snr die.

Samantha's also compared Meghan to Cruella de Vil and mocked Meghan about her relationship with their dad, describing her as "inhumane".

Speaking to the Star, she said: “Quite frankly I had faith in her on and off to do the right thing by her dad but I’m sick of the bulls**t.

“Nobody is trying to get close to her but she’s not going to ghost, insults, and destroy this family and skip on her merry way without the truth being revealed.”

Samantha, who has multiple sclerosis and uses a wheelchair, is believed not to have spoken to her sister in many years.

She is determined to air her views in her upcoming book, whose title she changed from The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister.

“(I have) never been afraid of the truth because if the truth makes me lose friends then they weren’t friends that I wanted to have anyway," she said. “You’ve got to read my book to see what things were really like.

Kensington Palace has declined to comment.
