Meghan Markle's old blog has resurfaced, showcasing the close bond she once had with her now-estranged father amid a new war with her half-sister. Her half-sister, Samantha, recently sued the Duchess, accusing her younger sibling of defamation.

Just back in 2014, Meghan posted a Father's Day tribute to her father, detailing he had always encouraged her to "draw your own box." The post continues, "Our club sandwich & fruit smoothie tradition post my tap & ballet class - classes, which by the way, he religiously took me to on Saturday mornings after working 75+ hours a week as a lighting director. The fishing trips along the Kern River and Big Bear Lake to catch catfish or trout and cook it up for dinner, and the commitment he made to lighting my high school musicals so that they felt as grand as a Broadway show.

"If anything, I think ‘The Tig’ calls into question her relationship with her family."
