Meghan Markle walks free after her half-sister’s lawsuit against her was dismissed.
Half-sister Samantha Markle sued Meghan Markle for defamation after the controversial TV interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
The sister claims her reputation has been ruined by “malicious lies” told by Meghan in the interview.
The half-sister further claims that Meghan “published and disseminated false and malicious statements” about her in the 2020 book, Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of A Modern Royal Family.
The half-sister believes that Meghan lied about being an only child, and about the last time they saw each other. Furthermore, Samantha claims that the allegations exposed her to “humiliation and hatred”.
Samantha sought compensation of NOK 750,000 and asked for a trial.
Now, however, a judge in Florida has rejected the lawsuit, writes The Independent.
The judge believed that Markle’s statements were expressions of opinion.
– As a reasonable listener would understand, the accused party has only expressed opinions about his childhood and his relationship with his half-siblings, writes judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell in the ruling.
