Partial success for Samantha Markle: Meghan’s lawyer’s request for testimony was rejected – she may have to testify.
Prince Harry (38) and Duchess Meghan (41) could be forced to testify as part of a defamation case brought by Meghan’s half-sister.
The Duchess’ lawyer wanted to prevent the royals from being questioned in the case – but his objection has now been dismissed by a judge, reports “BBC”.
Malicious lies on Oprah?
Samantha Markle (58) accuses her half-sister of “slander and harmful lies” based on her statements in the famous interview with Oprah Winfrey (69). For example, the 58-year-old is about Meghan’s statement that she grew up like an only child. The half-sister, who comes from Meghan’s father Thomas Markle’s (78) first marriage, sees it differently. According to the “Times”, she is demanding damages of almost 70,000 euros for the statement, which she classifies as “malicious”.
According to Samantha Markle, it is not true that Meghan “raised herself in great poverty”. It is also not true that “at the age of 13 she was forced to work in several low-paying jobs to ‘make ends meet'”. Her father always tried to fulfill her wishes and paid for it. From an “expensive private school” to dance and acting classes. In short: Meghan grew up much more sheltered than she claimed in an interview. Your narrative of “Cinderella to Princess” is a lie.
Half sister with tell-all book
The relationship between the two half-sisters is already badly damaged. Meghan also claimed in the interview that her half-sister only changed her name back to “Markle” after learning that Meghan was dating the prince.
It’s not the first time Samantha has complained about her half-sister: in early 2021, she released a book evocatively titled The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister “.
