Meg Markle’s Half-Sister Files Defamation Lawsuit Against Her

Meg Markle's half-sister, Samantha Markle, has recently filed a lawsuit against her royal sibling, claiming defamation.

Despite allegations that Samantha has been spreading damaging rumors about Meg, including the bizarre conspiracy theory that she faked her pregnancies, legal experts suggest that Samantha might have a case worth considering.

California First Amendment attorney Jeff Lewis explained that Samantha Markle brings up arguments in her lawsuit that a court could potentially find valid.

The claims made by Meg, such as dropping out of high school and being an unfit mother, can significantly damage someone's reputation.

However, the key question is whether Samantha can provide evidence to prove these statements false.

Lewis also discussed the possibility of filing a motion under California's anti-slap law, which protects individuals who make statements in the public interest or exercise their First Amendment rights.

If successful, this motion could lead to a swift dismissal of the case.

Nonetheless, Meg still faces legal obstacles and may need to testify or disclose sensitive information to defend herself.

In the midst of these legal proceedings, Meg announced her upcoming podcast for Spotify, fulfilling the multimillion-dollar deal she and Prince Harry signed with the streaming platform last year.

While Lewis analyzed Samantha Markle's lawsuit from the perspective of Meg's attorneys, his comments coincide with an explosive BuzzFeed news report dubbing Samantha as Meg's biggest online troll.

Samantha Markle has spent the past four years publicly criticizing her younger half-sister, accusing her of using the British monarchy to advance her social status and abandoning her American family.

BuzzFeed News also revealed deleted tweets from one of Samantha's accounts, where she insinuated that Meg and Harry's children were conceived through in vitro fertilization and born via surrogates, suggesting they should not be in the line of succession to the British throne.

Although Samantha's reported behavior and suspended Twitter accounts may not impede the progress of her lawsuit, they could weaken her credibility in court.

Lewis predicts that her actions will likely be scrutinized during the discovery and trial process, and Meg's legal team may argue that Samantha's behavior disqualifies her from receiving any relief.

Samantha Markle filed her lawsuit on March 3 in a federal court in Florida, where she resides.

She claims that Meg made false statements about her during the highly publicized interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year.

However, proving malice on Meg's part will be challenging, as it is difficult to ascertain someone's thoughts and intentions.

In another development, Samantha publicly criticized Meg for allegedly neglecting their father, Thomas Markle.

Speaking on GB News, Samantha accused Meg of elder abuse, stating that she did nothing while their father was hospitalized just hours away from her California home.

Samantha expressed her disappointment, emphasizing that Thomas has already endured heart attacks, a pandemic, and now a stroke.

She called out Meg for not reaching out to resolve their issues and questioned how she could watch her father suffer in this way.

Thomas Markle is currently receiving medical treatment in a California hospital, and Samantha revealed that he has lost his ability to speak.

It may take months for him to regain his speech.

The legal battle between Meg and Samantha continues to unfold, with both sides presenting their arguments and evidence.

As the case progresses, the public awaits further developments and the ultimate resolution of this family dispute.
