Samantha Markle arrives at court as she tries to sue half-sister Meghan

ok.co.uk:

Samantha Markle, Meghan Markle's half-sister, has taken her defamation case against the Duchess to court. Samantha alleges that Meghan defamed her in both her 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview and 2022 Netflix documentary.

Samantha, who is wheelchair-bound due to multiple sclerosis, claims Meghan labelled her as an "imposter," a "deceptive opportunist" and a "charlatan" in several interviews.

Her lawyer, Peter Ticktin, says Samantha now feels harassed and scared to leave her home. However, Michael Kump, Meghan's representative, denies any of Meghan's statements were libellous and argues the case lacks foundation.

He stated: "This has always been a lawsuit in search of a viable claim.The case has failed because it runs head first up against defamation law and the First Amendment." The case, which was first brought to court in March 2022, was dismissed earlier this year.The judge ruled that Meghan was merely sharing her views about her childhood and relationship with her half-sister Samantha.
