As Prince Harry and Meghan Markleโ€™s royal wedding edges ever closer, more and more members from the bride-to-beโ€™s family are making their way out of the woodwork.

And this time around, itโ€™s her former brother-in-law โ€” Scott Rasmussen.

Speaking with The Mirror, Scott, whoโ€™s divorced from Meghanโ€™s half-sister, Samantha Grant, warned the newly-engaged duo not to invite his former partner to their wedding on May 19.

โ€œHarry and Meghan need to know the truth about her. Sheโ€™s the last person who should be at Windsor Castle,โ€ the 59-year-old told the publication. โ€œIn my opinion, if she sets foot in the UK, they should send her straight to the Tower of Londonโ€ฆ She should act with some dignity, keep her mouth shut, and leave everybody else alone.โ€

Samantha, 53, is the brains behind the soon-to-be published book titled The Diary of Princess Pushyโ€™s Sister.

โ€œSamanthaโ€™s the pushy one. She made our marriage a living hell. I believe she resented Meghan because she had the life Samantha always wanted and she was jealous,โ€ he continued.

โ€œShe only got bit parts. She tried being a model but it didnโ€™t work out,โ€ he explained, referencing her attempt to pursue a career in entertainment. โ€œShe got bitter.โ€

Scott, a former Marine whoโ€™s now a movie firearms expert, also said the mother-of-three was not nearly as close to the Suits actress during her childhood as sheโ€™s claimed.

โ€œSamantha making out they were close is bullsโ€”,โ€ he said.

The pair were born 17 years apart to the same father, Thomas Markle Sr.

Harry, 33, and Meghan, 36, will marry at St. Georgeโ€™s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday, May 19.

During a recent appearance on A Current Affair, Samantha said she was โ€œnever bitter or jealousโ€ of Meghanโ€™s success and instead insisted that she was proud of her.

She also accused the royal-to-be of not doing enough to help their father, who declared bankruptcy in 2016 and now lives in Mexico.

โ€œHonestly โ€” what she could spend in a weekend would greatly help dad, so that should be a priority,โ€ Samantha said.

Speaking directly to her half-sibling, she continued: โ€œI think you need to step up to the plate and make sure he is well taken care of.โ€

Samantha, who has multiple sclerosis and has been wheelchair-bound for more than 10 years, went on to reference a specific designer dress worn by the duchess-to-be in her official engagement photos.

โ€œIf you can afford $75,000 for a dress, you can afford $75,000 to help your dad. Thatโ€™s how I feel, thatโ€™s who I am,โ€ she said.
