The ongoing feud between the two siblings traces back to the early days of Meghan's relationship with Prince Harry, when Samantha wasted no time in criticizing the Duchess. According to Newsweek, Samantha Markle has accused Meghan of libel for the statements made in her previous interviews.
In court documents, Samantha claims that Meghan continues to perpetuate lies about their family and upbringing, neglecting opportunities to set the record straight. These alleged lies have defamed Samantha, causing negative fallout.
Megan's legal team is vigorously contesting the lawsuit and seeking its dismissal, arguing that Samantha's claims lack merit and have been previously rejected three times.
The legal battle sheds light on the strained relationships Meghan has with her father's side of the family. Initially, Meghan had a close bond with her father, Thomas Markle. However, their relationship deteriorated when he was caught staging paparazzi photos.
Meghan sent him a heartfelt letter, pleading with him to stop seeking fame, but parts of the letter were later published by a British tabloid. Meghan successfully sued the tabloid for invasion of privacy.
Thomas Markle's absence at Meghan's wedding further strained their bond, and they reportedly haven't spoken since. Thomas has given multiple interviews expressing his desire to mend their relationship, but it seems that each public appearance pushes Meghan further away.
