Sister drags Meghan to court |
The date is set!
As if there wasn’t enough trouble in the Sussex household…
The mud fight between Duchess Meghan (41) and her half-sister Samantha Markle (57) is now at its peak. And in court in Florida!
There is now to be officially fought over who really tells the truth and who tells fairy tales. It was only announced in March that Samantha was suing her sister Meghan for defamation. She demands of her loudly “Daily Mail” approximately $75,000 in damages.
The dispute
Among other things, Samantha accused her half-sister of lying in the scandalous interview with Oprah Winfrey (68) in March 2021 when she claimed to have grown up as an only child. In addition, Meghan destroyed the reputation of Samantha and the entire Markle family by telling lies.
It’s also said to be about the “rags-to-riches” story that Meghan peddled big. The picture book story of how the former actress spent a modest childhood and then went from Cinderella to princess are simply “wrong”.
In March 2021, Harry and Meghan sat down opposite Oprah Winfrey and not only criticized Meghan’s entire family, but also the royal family. Since then, the couple has fallen out with almost everyone
As a further point, some of the Duchess’ comments in the book Finding Freedom, a biography written by Meghan’s close friend Omid Scobie, are said to be incorrect.
Meghan’s lawyers continue to deny any kind of lying and initially even tried to dismiss the lawsuit. Growing up as an “only child”, as Meghan described it, is a “feeling” and not a “fact”. She also says that she should not be held responsible for the content of a book that she is neither the author nor the editor of.
In 2019, Prince Harry and Meghan left the royal family and have since lived with their two children in their villa in Montecito, California.
But who is telling the truth now?
Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell (64) now wants to clarify DAS once and for all, and quickly, because the procedure should remain “inexpensive”.
The brawlers have until the end of September to come to an agreement and complete the investigation by May 2023. If no agreement is reached, the court date has been set for October 2, 2023. And it shouldn’t last longer than 5 days.
In any case, the judge seems to welcome an early agreement …
