Meghan Markle wins lawsuit against half-sister Samantha Markle; Details inside

Meghan Markle: Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle has won a lawsuit against her half-sister, Samantha Markle. The court dismissed the defamation case filed by Samantha against the former actress.

Samantha Markle had filed a defamation lawsuit in February, alleging that Meghan Markle made malicious comments against her in a book released in 2020, Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of A Modern Royal Family.

Along with her allegations about Meghan Markle's alleged comments against her in the book, Samantha also mentioned what Meghan had said about her changed surname.

Meghan accused of changing surname

According to Samantha's lawsuit, The Duchess of Sussex had allegedly accused her of changing her surname back to Markle to cash in on her newfound fame.

The court dismissed Samantha Markle's allegations, stating that her claims are explicitly contradicted by the transcript from that Oprah interview. The court concluded that it cannot reasonably infer that Meghan Markle is liable for the alleged misconduct.

The judge also ruled out Samantha's claims which suggested Meghan mentioned she met her half-sister rarely, suggesting it was nowhere to be found.

Legal tussle to continue?

However, Samantha Markle's lawyer released a statement saying the legal tussle between the half-siblings is not over yet. "It is unfortunate to see that some of the press has chosen to wrongly report on the Judge’s ruling as a total win by Meghan. Upon reviewing the order, it is clear that the entire case was not tossed out, but in fact, the Judge is allowing Samantha to amend her complaint within 14 days," claimed the lawyer in the statement.
