But that's not all; Turan, the legal expert orchestrating this royal courtroom drama, plans to reach out to the Palace to see if William and Kate have any relevant information to add. And if that isn't enough to pique your interest, Turan also revealed that there's an 80% chance Prince Harry might find himself in the hot seat. Yes, Harry could be facing some tough questions, turning this into the Royal Family's very own courtroom reality show. Move over Judge Judy!
Now, let's dive into Samantha's defamation lawsuit. She accuses Meghan of making demonstrably false and malicious statements during the Oprah Winfrey interview. According to court documents, Samantha alleges that Meghan claimed she was raised as an only child, causing Samantha humiliation. However, Samantha's motivation is not financial; she seeks the truth. Samantha firmly believes that Meghan is lying, and the deposition presents an opportunity to clear her name. Samantha is determined to have her day in court, and the monetary demand is a mere fraction of the lawsuit – a sum of $755,000.
Let's not forget about Thomas, caught in the crossfire. Reports suggest he's ready to protect Samantha and expose Meghan's alleged lies. In his recent interview with Samantha, you could sense their eagerness to reveal the truth. Thomas has even hinted at being willing to disclose all the evidence. The father-daughter relationship has taken a nosedive, and it appears that Thomas Markle is ready to air their family matters.
Here's a heart-wrenching revelation: It's alleged that Thomas Markle used a significant portion of his retirement funds to support Meghan's education at Northwestern University, instead of opting for a more affordable university in California. Thomas and Meghan's once-close bond has been strained since her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018.
Despite being close during her early years, the 79-year-old recently commented on the royal feud detailed in Omid Scobie's book, "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival," where members of "The Firm" allegedly made comments about the potential skin color of Meghan's son when he was born. Thomas expressed his surprise that Harry and Meghan had not publicly distanced themselves from these allegations, finding it unusual.
When asked about "Endgame," Thomas told the Daily Mail earlier this week. Royal commentator Camilla Tominey explained that Thomas's association with Meghan may be irreparably damaged after his recent comments. Reconciliation seems unlikely in the near future if Thomas Markle continues to share private information publicly.
Despite multiple instances of betrayal and hurt in their relationship, Tominey also noted that their bond has the potential to mend and heal over time. However, it would require both parties to be willing to make an effort towards reconciliation. It's a complex situation, dependent on Meghan's readiness and willingness to work towards repairing her relationship with her father. At this point, it remains unclear if she is prepared to do so. Tominey cautioned that if Thomas continues to publicly speak out against his daughter without any remorse or understanding of how his actions may have hurt her, their relationship is unlikely to be repaired.
