Meghan Markle sued by sister, Samantha Markle over Netflix documentary & Oprah interview
FirstpostSamantha Markle, the half-sister of Meghan Markle reportedly sued her over comments made in her interviews with Oprah Winfrey and in her Netflix documentary. A court filing seen by Newsweek reads: “Plaintiff Samantha Markle, and Defendant Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, by and through their respective undersigned counsel of record, hereby request that the Court hold oral argument in connection with Defendant’s pending Motion to Dismiss the Third Amended Complaint, in light of the extensive briefing by the parties. Counsel estimates a total of 60 minutes for oral argument.” Samantha’s complaint objects to the ways Meghan ‘degraded their relationship’ in her March 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview and suggested the duchess made defamatory statements including, “I grew up as an only child, which everyone who grew up around me knows, and I wished I had siblings.” The Newsweek report further mentioned that the duchess said she lived with her mother during the week and father on weekends, but said Thomas Markle lived alone because his adult children had moved out. And my dad lived alone, he had two adult children who had moved out of his house.” Earlier, Firtspost reported that Meghan Markle’s estranged half-sister has launched another blistering attack on the Duchess of Sussex by claiming that her marriage to Prince Harry will end in divorce unless they get ‘extensive counselling’. Samantha Markle suggested the Duke may already be ‘questioning’ the marriage and predicted it could ‘get nasty’ until he ‘starts dissenting or pulling back from her’.
