Meghan Markle will not let his step-sister Samantha Markle easy win!
At Suit The alum team was in court on Friday trying to convince the judge to throw out Samantha’s defamation lawsuit – and it might have worked! As we already know, Samantha is seeking $75,000 in damages from the actress and her husband. Prince Harry for the alleged lie spilled on Oprah Winfrey talk-all and biography 2020 Find Freedom, which was written by Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie. In particular, he argued that his brother made false claims in public that brought him “humiliation, shame and hatred on a world scale.”
Last week, the 58-year-old man was able to win the case when the Judge. Charlene Edwards Honeywell issued a decision ordering Meghan and Harry to sit down “in the next few months,” according to a DailyMail.com report. But Meghan’s team is seeking a judge’s ruling on the dismissal motion before the Sussexes take their testimony. Now, he’s one step closer to throwing the case!

In court on Wednesday, the 41-year-old’s camp clapped back at Samantha’s claim – punching a lot of holes in her case! according to TMZ, one of Samantha’s arguments is that Meghan lied about being an only child. Both show their father, Thomas Markle, although they are estranged for most of their lives. At Archetypes The podcast host team slammed the argument, insisting that Meghan never said it already solo, but told Oprah he grew up as an only child.
In addition, Samantha claimed that the Duchess of Sussex lied about her upbringing – and then when she was caught in the lie, she attacked her half-sister to cover up her own mistakes. To make her point clear, Samantha suggests Meghan’s get-rich-goods narrative about her upbringing is entirely bogus because she comes from a middle-class background. He also confirmed that his father paid Meghan to do various things, such as attending an elite private school and attending college Northwestern Universityas well as dance and acting classes.

But once again, Meg’s lawyer fought back, reiterating that the client had only ever expressed his impression of his life. Small details but can be very important. He later asked a judge to throw out the case because the claims were “offensive” and “inappropriate.” Although no decision has been made, the judges are definitely leaning towards Meghan’s side!
according to TMZ, Judge Honeywell said he was “struggling” to see how Meghan’s statements amounted to defamation. The case is currently under advisement. Interestingly, this is not the first time a legal professional has suggested that Samantha’s arguments do not carry much weight. Earlier this month in a “preliminary peek” at the case, the judge noted the entire matter may be “ripe for dismissal” but no decision has yet been made. Either way, this hearing seems to be leaning in Meghan’s favor! Mind?! Do you think the claim is defamatory? Let us know (below)!
