While her sister is preparing for the royal wedding for the year, Meghan Markle’s half-sister is scouring for bargains in Florida.
Wheelchair-bound Samantha Grant, 52, was spotted shopping with her partner Mark at a flea market in Bellview, Florida this weekend.
Ms Grant was seen meandering through the stalls in rural northern Florida, looking at furniture, bric-a-brac and jewellery.

Another world: While Ms Grant hunts for bargains, her sister is preparing for her upcoming marriage to Prince Harry with a series of public engagements in the UK
She reportedly picked up number of bargains, including a wooden cabinet, a leather bag and an old fan before bringing her shopping back to her home in nearby Ocala.
Ms Grant has reportedly not spoken to her sister, who has been winning the hearts of the British people across the country on recent public appearances with Prince Harry, for three years.
In the wake of Ms Markle and Prince Harry going public with their relationship and subsequent engagement, Ms Grant made several unkind public statements about her younger half-sister.
However, last week the 52-year-old begged for her sister’s forgiveness, saying she still hopes to be invited to the royal wedding.

Samantha has been promoting her forthcoming memoir, ‘The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister,’ the title of which she says is not an insult to Meghan.
She says she ‘wanted to show in the book that she [is the] opposite.’
Ms Markle herself is set to visit Cardiff in Wales with her fiance, spending the day celebrating its ‘people, culture and heritage’.
She will be introduced to residents of another area of the UK, following on from successful visits the pair have made to Nottingham, in Nottinghamshire, and Brixton in south London.
The couple will visit Cardiff Castle, hear performances from musicians and poets, meet leading sportsmen and women, and see how organisations are working to promote the Welsh language and cultural identity.
