Update on Samantha Markle vs Meghan Markle Case: Court Date Set for November 8th

The ongoing legal battle between Samantha Markle and Meghan Markle in Florida has recently seen some new developments.

The next court date has been scheduled for November 8th, which will be November 9th in Australia for those following the case from there.

It has also been revealed that Meghan attempted to have the court appearance done on Zoom, but her motion was denied by the courts.

As a result, she will be required to show up to court in person, preventing her lawyers from having to travel to Florida.

Judge Charlene Edwards-Honeywell, who presides over the case, made a firm decision earlier this year.

She dismissed part of the case related to Scobie's book but will still consider arguments regarding Oprah's interview.

This raises the question: why is Meghan so insistent on having the court sessions conducted via Zoom?

One possible reason is that Meghan wants to maintain as much control over the narrative as possible.

She is known for being uncomfortable in unscripted conversations, and appearing in court would mean facing spontaneous legal questions.

It is clear that Meghan becomes agitated when she cannot control the narrative, as evidenced by her approach to the Oprah interview.

However, it is important to note that a court of law operates differently from an interview, with the judge having the final say.

It is worth mentioning that Meghan may have believed she knew how to behave in a courtroom due to her role as a lawyer on the television show Suits.

However, being a lawyer in real life is vastly different from playing one on screen.

Additionally, Meghan's narcissistic tendencies have led her to instruct her lawyers to be extremely harsh towards Samantha Markle, her half-sister.

This behavior reflects Meghan's desire to avoid any truths slipping out during the court proceedings, similar to her attempt to prevent the release of her father's letters in her case against the Mail on Sunday.

Furthermore, Meghan's interest in having the court sessions on Zoom may stem from her desire to record the proceedings for future use, potentially for a project related to her Netflix deal.

Samantha Markle, on the other hand, aims to increase Meghan's legal expenses by forcing all the lawyers involved to appear in court.

However, it is important to note that the court case itself holds little merit and is likely to be dismissed.

While many would love to see Meghan take the stand and defend her interview under oath, it has been a long wait for Samantha Markle.

This will be her third attempt to salvage the lawsuit, following a warning from a judge in March that she had one final opportunity to make the case work.

If Samantha is unsuccessful, her efforts will have been in vain.

However, if she succeeds, Meghan will be required to undergo a process called discovery until January 2nd.

This could entail handing over private texts, emails, and other relevant documents to Samantha's legal team.

A trial date has been set for July 2024.

In the past, Meghan has manipulated information to portray Samantha in a negative light, attempting to make people dislike her sister.

She did this covertly, denying any involvement in Ed's book.

This deception demonstrates Meghan's deliberate intent to tarnish Samantha's reputation, which can be considered defamation.

The Oprah interview revealed clear instances of Meghan's falsehoods.

Similarly, Meghan tried to conceal her involvement in Omid's book.
