Now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have relocated to a private compound in Los Angeles where they remain in isolation amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Markle’s half-sister Samantha has severely criticized the couple for allegedly abandoning the U.K. and the royal family during this unprecedented time of crisis.

Speaking with The Sun, Samantha Markle branded the couple as “disgusting” and “cruel” for moving to Los Angeles at this time.

“Harry and Meghan don’t seem to care about families or people around them. Their self-preservation is quite disgusting,” she said. “They can throw stones all they want but they are the biggest hypocrites out there now.”

Samantha, who holds regular interviews with UK and US tabloids and has published a book about her tense relationship with her half-sister, added that Meghan has not spoken with her father amid the pandemic.

“It’s a devastating pandemic, the idea of abandoning both families without so much of a phone call is just shocking,” she said. “And now to abandon the British people and Royal family at such a critical time it is almost, it takes me back to the colosseum in Roman times, it just seems so horribly cruel.”

Now that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have started a new life in Los Angeles, Samantha said she always knew that Meghan would try to revive her Hollywood career again, citing the fact that “she never severed ties with her agent or manager in Los Angeles.”

This past Tuesday, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry officially ended their roles as senior members of the Royal Family in order to carve out a “progressive role” in the institution. In a statement, the pair said they will consider how best to contribute to this “global shift.”

“As we all find the part we are to play in this global shift and changing of habits, we are focusing this new chapter to understand how we can best contribute,” said the couple. “While you may not see us here, the work continues. Thank you to this community – for the support, the inspiration and the shared commitment to the good in the world. We look forward to reconnecting with you soon. You’ve been great! Until then, please take good care of yourselves, and of one another.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made big headlines this past weekend when President Trump declared that the United States would not be paying for their security while they reside in Los Angeles.

“I am a great friend and admirer of the Queen & the United Kingdom. It was reported that Harry and Meghan, who left the Kingdom, would reside permanently in Canada. Now they have left Canada for the U.S. however, the U.S. will not pay for their security protection. They must pay!” Trump tweeted on Sunday.

Speaking with Fox News, a spokesperson for the royal couple said that they already planned to pay for their own security upon relocating from Canada to Los Angeles.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have no plans to ask the U.S. government for security resources,” the statement said. “Privately funded security arrangements have been made.”

In a recent statement, the couple called upon people to support each other during this time of unprecedented crisis.

“These are uncertain times. And now, more than ever, we need each other. We need each other for truth, for support, and to feel less alone during a time that can honestly feel quite scary,” they wrote on Instagram. “There are so many around the world who need support right now, who are working tirelessly to respond to this crisis behind the scenes, on the frontline, or at home. Our willingness, as a people, to step up in the face of what we are all experiencing with COVID-19 is awe-inspiring. This moment is as true a testament there is to the human spirit.”
