Judge nixes Markle-sis suit slap at royal sib

Meghan Markle has won the defamation lawsuit brought by her half-sister, Samantha Markle.

Samantha, 58, sued the Duchess of Sussex in federal court in Florida for allegedly making “demonstrably false and malicious statements” about her to a world audience during Meghan and Prince Harry’s bombshell March 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Samantha filed the $75,000 lawsuit after Meghan told Oprah that she grew up as an only child.

The comments subjected Samantha to “humiliation and hatred,” she asserted.

But Thursday, a judge dismissed the lawsuit, saying Meghan’s remarks were opinions and “not capable of being proved false.”

“As a reasonable listener would understand it, defendant merely expresses an opinion about her childhood and her relationship with her half-siblings,” US District Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell wrote in her order.

Samantha said Meghan “orchestrated the campaign to defame and destroy her sister’s and her father’s reputation and credibility in order to preserve and promote the false ‘rags-to-royalty’ narrative she had fabricated about her life to the royal family and the worldwide media.”
