Samantha Markle has lost her defamation case against her half-sister, the Duchess of Sussex, after a judge in Florida granted a motion to dismiss.
Samantha lodged her case in March 2022, when she sued Meghan Markle for “defamation and injurious falsehoods” along with “malicious lies” in a number of alleged instances, including during the Duchess’ well-publicized sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey alongside husband Harry.
Samantha also claims Meghan’s Florida fanbase “became angry” with her half-sister, claiming a “significant part” of her hometown’s population is unhappy with the elder Markle.
