Meghan Markle is being sued by her half-sister, Samantha Markle, for defamation after some of the claims she made during her interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.
Their father has vowed to support Samantha over Meghan.
Samantha Markle, 57, has accused her sister of making “false and malicious statements” during the headline-making interview. As a result, their father Thomas Markle has claimed that he would be more than happy to defend his eldest daughter.
According to Thomas, his 40-year-old daughter cannot defend some of the things she said and he believes she should settle.
Among some of the claims made by Samantha against Meghan is her statement to Oprah about being an only child, putting herself through university and not seeing her for years.
Samantha, in the lawsuit, also alleged that following her sister’s interview she now has emotional and mental distress. She added that the claims have made it difficult for her to get work or get sales on her autobiography, The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister.
Meghan’s lawyer has said that Samantha’s lawsuit is “baseless” and “absurd”.
“This baseless and absurd lawsuit is just a continuation of a pattern of disturbing behaviour. We will give it the minimum attention necessary, which is all it deserves,” ET Canada quoted him as saying.
