Meghan Markle, currently residing in the United States with her husband Prince Harry, is set to face questioning under oath regarding the identity of individuals involved in alleged royal discriminatory remarks.
This legal action comes as Meghan’s half-sister, Samantha Markle, sues her for defamation in response to Meghan’s controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
In the interview, Meghan claimed to have grown up as an only child with little to no relationship with her sibling.
Peter Tickton, Samantha’s lawyer, has revealed his intention to request a deposition from both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as part of the defamation lawsuit.
This would involve interviewing them under oath.
During this process, Meghan and Prince Harry may face questions about the allegations surrounding comments made within the royal family concerning their son Archie’s skin color.
The Sun reported that writer Olmert Scobie identified King Charles and Princess Kate as individuals who allegedly inquired about Archie’s skin color in the Dutch translation of his book Endgame.
Samantha argues that she has faced widespread hatred, contempt, and ridicule due to Meghan and Harry’s statements, both in the Netflix series and the Oprah Winfrey interview.
Mr. Tickton emphasizes the need to delve into the issue of royal discriminators, suggesting that there are underlying reasons for Meghan’s estrangement from her family and her subsequent public statements.
He accuses Meghan’s legal team of obstructing requests for information in hopes of having the case dismissed by a judge.
Mr. Tickton plans to file a motion next month demanding the handover of relevant documents.
Despite being approached for comment, Meghan and Harry have not responded at this time.
Samantha, on the other hand, continues her pursuit of re-establishing connections, as evidenced by her ongoing legal action against Meghan.
Notably, Samantha has had various roles in broadcasting, acting, and modeling, which required her to move frequently.
At one point, she even stayed in a spare room at Thomas’s residence, Meghan’s father.
An interesting incident occurred when Meghan and Samantha shared a bathroom wall.
Meghan displayed some bossy behavior, leading some to humorously refer to Samantha as the princess.
It seemed that Meghan was protective of her father’s attention.
One incident involved Thomas asking them to select a gift from a catalog, and Samantha pointing to a $300 ring.
Meghan, however, remarked, “Babe, Sam’s nickname, you’re not getting that ring.”
While Samantha may not be wealthier than Meghan, she possesses talents and capabilities that Meghan does not.
For instance, she can produce a movie, write a book, or participate in certain Hollywood endeavors that Meghan appears to desire.
Samantha could consider highlighting Thomas’s Emmy Awards to emphasize his success.
Additionally, sharing happy family Christmas photos without mentioning Meghan could help her father move beyond the situation.
Regardless of the outcome of the court case, Samantha should aim to move forward and assist her father in putting the past with Meghan behind them.
