The 42-year-old’s lengthy battle with her half-sister, Samantha Markle, came to a close on Tuesday. Samantha’s defamation lawsuit, originally brought against the duchess in 2022, was dismissed with prejudice, which means Samantha cannot file the claims again.Samantha had alleged that she was defamed by her famous sibling during her 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, along with the Netflix series "Harry & Meghan." A spokesperson for Markle didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. "Sure, Meghan is delighted that she once again beat her half-sister in court," Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," told Fox News Digital. "But there’s no doubt that Meghan and [her husband, Prince] Harry are also keeping a very close eye on what’s happening back in the U.K."Markle’s recent triumph came as her sister-in-law, Princess Kate Middleton, is in the middle of a social media firestorm.On Monday, the Princess of Wales spoke out after news and photo agencies pulled a new photo released by Kensington Palace for Mother’s Day in the U.K.
