The legal action stems from Meghan's controversial interview with Oprah in 2021, during which she claimed to have grown up as an only child with little to no relationship with her sister. Peter Tipton, Samantha's legal representative, has stated his intention to require both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to provide statements as part of the libel suit. This would entail them being interviewed under oath. During this process, Meghan and Harry could be questioned about the allegations surrounding comments made within the royal family concerning Archie's skin color.
Samantha's claims in the Dutch translation of the book "End Game" by Sam suggest that King Charles and Princess Kate were the individuals who allegedly raised questions about Archie's skin color.
Samantha asserts that she has faced widespread hate, contempt, and ridicule due to statements made by Meghan and Harry, both in their Netflix series and in the Oprah Winfrey interview. Mr. Tipton emphasizes the need to explore the issue of discrimination within the royal family, suggesting underlying reasons for Meghan's estrangement from her family.
He also accuses Meghan's legal team of obstructing requests for information, seemingly in hopes of having the case dismissed by the judge. Mr. Tipton plans to file an application with the court next month to request the handover of related documents.
Meghan and Harry have been approached for comment, but they have not responded thus far. Samantha's ongoing legal case against Meghan is notable, as Samantha has had various roles in broadcasting, acting, and modeling that require frequent travel. At one point, she even stayed in the spare room at Meghan's father, Thomas Markle's residence. There was an incident involving the shared bathroom wall between Samantha's bedroom and Meghan's, where some tensions arose.
While Samantha may not be wealthier than Meghan, she possesses talents and abilities that Meghan does not, such as the ability to produce a movie, write a book, or engage in other endeavors that Meghan appears to desire. Samantha should consider emphasizing Thomas Markle's Emmy Award to highlight her family's success. Additionally, sharing happy family Christmas photos without mentioning Meghan could assist her father in moving past the situation.
Regardless of the case's outcome, Samantha should look forward to helping her father put his past with Meghan behind them.
