MEGHAN’S HALF-SISTER FAILS IN BID TO SUE DUCHESS

A US court has dismissed a defamation case brought against the Duchess of Sussex by half-sister Samantha Markle, above.

Meghan was accused of spreading “demonstrably false and malicious lies” to a “worldwide audience” in the royal couple’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.

A Florida judge has now dismissed the lawsuit, saying she was expressing “an opinion about her childhood and her relationship with her half-sibling” and a statement of pure opinion was “not capable of being proved false”.
