The highly anticipated court case between Samantha Markle and Meghan Markle is set to continue on November 8th, with the next hearing taking place in Florida.
However, for those following the case from Australia, it will be November 9th.
In a recent development, Meghan attempted to have her appearance done via Zoom, but her motion was denied by the courts.
This means that Meghan must now physically attend the court proceedings.
It seems that Meghan’s desire for a Zoom appearance stems from her wish to maintain control over the narrative as much as possible.
Known for her preference for scripted conversations, Meghan and her legal team may struggle with answering spontaneous legal questions.
The denial of her motion by Judge Charlene Edwards-Honeywell indicates that the court will not allow Meghan to dictate the terms of the proceedings.
While Meghan successfully dismissed part of the case earlier this year, specifically regarding Scobie’s book, arguments related to the Oprah interview will still be heard.
It is evident that Meghan’s desire for a Zoom appearance is driven by her need to exert control, similar to how she managed the narrative during the Oprah interview.
However, a court of law operates differently, with the judge having the final say.
One possible reason for Meghan’s insistence on a Zoom conference is her portrayal of a lawyer on the television show “Suits.”
However, being an actual lawyer and playing one on screen are two entirely different things.
Additionally, given Meghan’s narcissistic tendencies, there is a concern that she may instruct her lawyers to resort to dishonest tactics against Samantha Markle.
Another aspect driving Meghan’s preference for a Zoom appearance is her desire to avoid facing her sister, Samantha.
Meghan likely fears that Samantha may reveal truths that she cannot control, similar to her inability to prevent the release of her and Prince Harry’s emails during her case against the Mail on Sunday.
Furthermore, Meghan’s request for a recorded Zoom conference suggests her intention to obtain a copy of the event, possibly for future purposes such as Netflix footage.
If Samantha’s goal is to increase Meghan’s legal expenses, then the requirement for all lawyers to physically appear in court will serve that purpose.
However, it is worth noting that this case appears to have minimal merit and may ultimately be dismissed.
While it would be intriguing to witness Meghan defend her Oprah interview under oath, the court’s recent announcement of the hearing date after months of anticipation indicates that the case is progressing.
For Samantha, this marks her third attempt to salvage the lawsuit.
If she is unsuccessful this time, her efforts will be in vain, as a judge previously informed her in March that she had one final opportunity to make the case work.
Conversely, if Samantha prevails, Meghan will be obligated to undergo the Discovery process until January 2nd.
This would involve surrendering private texts, emails, and other relevant documents to her half-sister.
A trial date has been set for July 2024, providing a distant endpoint for this ongoing legal battle.
Meghan’s past actions, such as providing one-sided information to tarnish Samantha’s reputation and denying involvement in Omid’s book, suggest a deliberate attempt to defame her half-sister.
While Meghan’s lies were evident during the Oprah interview, her attempts to conceal her role in Omid’s book raise further concerns.
As the court case progresses, all eyes will be on Meghan and Samantha Markle, awaiting the outcome of this highly publicized legal dispute.
The denial of Meghan’s request for a Zoom appearance signifies that she must now face the court in person, leaving no room for scripted narratives or controlled conversations.
Only time will tell how this case unfolds and whether justice will prevail.
