“It's not tension. It's distance,” The Mirror quoted Roslyn from her interview with Radar Online.

“When Meghan graduated from high school, she went to Northwestern which is up in Illinois. And when she finished that, she worked in Argentina. Then she started Suits and she started her acting career. It was the scenario that everyone got busy, and the distance was always a factor,” she added.

Roslyn draws flak for her comment

Roslyn's comments met with severe criticism from Meghan Markle's estranged sister Samantha Markle. In a series of posts on social media, Samantha dismissed Rosyln's comment. Earlier, she had claimed that her sister Meghan had a "large family" who was "always there for her", dismissed Rosyln's claims on social media.

“FYI I read online said that Roslyn Markle was Meghan's stepmom LOL my dad divorced Roslyn in 74... she remarried... no relation to Meg ever and she knows nothing about our lives or Meghan!,” read a post by Samantha.
