Royal Family Drama Unfolds: Meghan Markle Faces Legal Action Over Discriminatory Remarks
Meghan Markle, currently residing in the United States with her husband Prince Harry, is set to be questioned under oath about the individuals involved in alleged royal discriminatory remarks.
The legal action comes as her half-sister, Samantha Markle, has filed a defamation lawsuit against her.
This legal battle traces back to Meghan's controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, where she portrayed herself as an only child with a strained relationship with her sibling.
Peter Tickton, Samantha's lawyer, has revealed plans to depose both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as part of the defamation lawsuit.
This deposition would involve Meghan and Prince Harry being interviewed under oath, potentially shedding light on the allegations surrounding comments made within the royal family regarding their son Archie's skin color.
According to The Sun, writer Olmert Scobie identified King Charles and Princess Kate as individuals who allegedly discussed Archie's skin color in the Dutch translation of his book Endgame.
Samantha Markle claims that she has faced widespread hatred and ridicule due to statements made by Meghan and Harry, both in the Netflix series and during the Oprah Winfrey interview.
Mr. Tickton has emphasized the importance of delving into the issue of royal discrimination, hinting at underlying reasons for Meghan's estrangement from her family and subsequent public statements.
He has accused Meghan's legal team of obstructing requests for information in a bid to have the case dismissed.
Mr. Tickton intends to file a motion next month demanding the handover of relevant documents, as Meghan and Harry have yet to respond to requests for comment.
Samantha is determined to continue her efforts to rebuild connections, as evidenced by her ongoing legal battle against Meghan.
Notably, Samantha has had diverse roles in broadcasting, acting, and modeling, often moving around.
At one point, she even stayed in a spare room at Thomas's residence, Meghan's father.
An intriguing incident occurred when Meghan, sharing a bathroom wall with Samantha's bedroom, exhibited assertive behavior, leading some to jokingly refer to Samantha as the princess.
It seemed that Meghan was protective of her father's attention, as observed during a situation where Thomas asked them to select a gift from a catalog.
Samantha pointed to a $300 ring, only to be told by Meghan, “Babe, Sam, you're not getting that ring.”
While Samantha may not be wealthier than Meghan, she possesses talents and capabilities that set her apart.
She can produce movies, write books, and engage in Hollywood endeavors that align with Meghan's aspirations.
Samantha could leverage Thomas's Emmy Awards to highlight his success and share family photos without mentioning Meghan to help her father move forward.
Regardless of the court case's outcome, Samantha aims to assist her father in overcoming the past involving Meghan.
