Samantha's defamation lawsuit, originally brought against Meghan in 2022, was dismissed with prejudice by Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell.The dismissal with prejudice means Samantha cannot file the claims again."[Samantha's] claims will be dismissed with prejudice, as she has failed to identify any statements that could support a claim for defamation or defamation-by-implication by this point, her third try at amending her complaint, in either the book 'Finding Freedom,' the Netflix series ‘Harry & Meghan,’ or [Meghan] and her husband’s hour-long televised CBS Interview," Honeywell wrote in court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. "As such, the Third Amended Complaint will be dismissed, with prejudice."A representative for Meghan did not respond to Fox News Digital's immediate request for comment.
