Meghan Markle, currently residing in the United States with her husband Prince Harry, is set to answer questions under oath regarding the identity of the royal family members involved in alleged discriminatory remarks.
The claims have been made as part of a defamation lawsuit filed against Meghan by her half-sister Samantha Markle.
In a highly publicized interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year, Meghan stated that she grew up as an only child and had a distant relationship with her sibling.
Peter Tickton, Samantha’s lawyer, has revealed that he intends to demand a deposition from both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as part of the legal proceedings.
This would entail an interview conducted under oath, during which they could be asked about the issue of alleged comments made by certain members of the royal family regarding the skin color of their son, Archie.
The Sun has reported that writer Omid Scobie, in the Dutch translation of his book “Endgame,” identified King Charles and Princess Kate as the individuals who posed such questions to Meghan and Prince Harry.
Samantha Markle claims that she has suffered widespread hatred, contempt, and ridicule as a result of Meghan and Harry’s comments, both in the Netflix series and the Oprah interview.
Mr. Tickton argues that it is crucial to explore the issue of royal discrimination and understand the reasons behind Meghan’s estrangement from her family.
He suggests that Meghan is willing to say hurtful things without concern for the impact on her relatives or even the monarchy itself.
Meghan’s legal team has been accused of stonewalling requests for information, hoping that the case will be dismissed.
However, Mr. Tickton plans to file a motion next month, demanding the submission of relevant documents.
At this stage, Meghan and Harry have not provided any comments on the matter.
In addition to the ongoing legal battle, Samantha Markle’s actions and motivations have also come under scrutiny.
She has pursued various careers in broadcasting, acting, and modeling, leading a nomadic lifestyle.
There was an intriguing incident involving Meghan and Samantha when they both stayed at Thomas’ place, sharing a spare room.
Meghan displayed a bossy attitude towards Samantha, particularly when she used the bathroom adjacent to Meghan’s bedroom.
This incident prompted Samantha to refer to Meghan as “the princess.”
It appeared that Meghan did not want to share her father’s attention with Samantha.
During their stay, Thomas asked both Meghan and Samantha to choose a gift from a catalogue.
Samantha pointed to a $300 ring, but Meghan dismissed the idea, saying, “babe, you’re not getting that ring.”
Samantha possesses abilities and opportunities that Meghan does not, such as producing a movie, writing a book, or participating in the Hollywood rituals that Meghan covets.
To emphasize her father’s success, Samantha should consider posting pictures of his Emmy Awards.
Furthermore, sharing happy family Christmas photos without mentioning Meghan could help her father move on from the past.
Regardless of the outcome of the court case, Samantha Markle should focus on moving forward and assisting her father in putting the Meghan chapter behind them.
