Prince Harry Just Got Roped Into Meghan Markle’s Legal Battle
In March 2022, TMZ confirmed that Meghan Markle’s sister was suing her. Samantha Markle lodged a lawsuit over claims the duchess made during her explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey. Samantha is suing for defamation over what she termed Meghan’s fictional “rags to royalty” story. Among other things, the former “Suits” star described herself as an “only child” despite her half-sibling, with whom she shares a father, and also referred to their last meeting being years ago, which Samantha denies.
Likewise, Meghan claimed Samantha changed her surname only once she was publicly linked to Prince Harry. She described a difficult childhood in general, with little financial stability, but Samantha countered that their dad, Thomas Markle, paid the way for Meghan to attend top-notch schools and even funded her acting classes, too. The author charges her half-sister with negatively affecting sales of her memoir, as well as preventing her from getting work, and also causing severe emotional and mental distress.
Meghan’s lawyer, Michael Kump, stated firmly, “This baseless and absurd lawsuit is just a continuation of a pattern of disturbing behavior. We will give it the minimum attention necessary, which is all it deserves.” As Cosmopolitan points out, in response to her sister’s supposed “tell-all” book, Meghan memorably told Oprah, “I think it would be hard to ‘tell all’ when you don’t know me.”
