Following Meghan Markle's successful dismissal of her half-sister's defamation lawsuit, it's timely to reflect on the strained relationship between the Duchess of Sussex and Samantha Markle.Samantha launched a defamation case against estranged sister Meghan in March 2022.

This came just after Harry and Meghan's explosive Oprah interview and before their bombshell Netflix docuseries was thrust into the public eye.Samantha accused Meghan of defaming her by both sharing information with an unofficial biography called 'Finding Freedom' and also divulging details about their relationship on live TV with Oprah Winfrey which rocked the monarchy.

She also claimed that Meghan and Harry's docuseries, which was added to Netflix a year ago, spread "malicious, hurtful, and damaging lies".

Samantha updated her lawsuit just hours before the judge's two-week deadline, after he initially agreed to dismiss the original claim according to the Mirror.At the time, Samantha claimed that Meghan attempted to "demonise" her and depict her as a "liar and fame seeker" on her show.
