Meghan Markle Faces Legal Battle as Thomas Markle Provides Evidence Against Her
In a surprising turn of events, Thomas Markle, the estranged father of Meghan Markle, has come forward with proof against his daughter in an ongoing defamation case.
The case, brought by Meghan's half-sister Samantha Markle, has now entered the discovery stage, according to Peter Tickton, Samantha's attorney.
Tickton revealed that the first deposition will be of Meghan's father, and the suit star herself will be deposed towards the end of this phase.
If Meghan refuses to comply with the deposition request, Tickton stated that a motion to compel her deposition will be filed with the court.
However, Tickton doesn't anticipate any comments on the case from Prince William and Kate Middleton, and he plans to reach out to the palace for confirmation.
Interestingly, there is an 80% chance that Prince Harry will also be deposed in this case.
The federal judge overseeing the lawsuit heard arguments in early November, where Samantha accused Meghan of defaming her during the highly publicized interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year.
According to court documents, Samantha alleges that Meghan made false and malicious statements, specifically claiming that she was raised as an only child.
These allegations have caused Samantha to experience humiliation and hatred.
Samantha has made it clear that she wants the truth to come out and is not motivated by financial gain.
During the depositions, Meghan will be required to answer a wide range of questions, even those that may seem irrelevant.
Although her attorney can object, she will still have to provide honest answers.
This process presents an opportunity to hold Meghan accountable and shed light on the truth.
The lawsuit itself is seeking a modest $75,000, which is significantly less than the actual costs of a federal court case.
It remains to be seen whether Meghan will choose to settle the matter by paying this amount.
An insider has revealed that Thomas Markle is determined to protect Samantha and expose what he believes are Meghan's lies.
In a previous interview with Samantha and Thomas Jr., it was evident that Thomas Markle wanted to reconcile with Meghan and let go of any animosity.
It has been reported that he even cashed out his retirement funds years ago to support Meghan's education at Northwestern University instead of a more affordable option in California, where he resides.
Allegedly, Meghan promised to reimburse him, but only made two payments after graduating.
This incident soured their relationship, as Thomas asked her to repay the difference between the cost of attending Northwestern and a state school in California.
It is claimed that both Meghan and her mother have financially burdened Thomas, with him having to hire a lawyer for her mother and cover his own legal expenses due to a travel agency dispute.
As this legal battle unfolds, the public eagerly awaits the outcome.
The deposition process will undoubtedly shed light on the allegations made by Samantha Markle and provide insight into the complex relationship between Meghan and her father.
Only time will tell how this case will impact the already strained ties within the Markle family.
