Samantha's lawyer, Peter Tickton, has stated that, as part of the defamation lawsuit, he intends to request a deposition from both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which would involve them being interviewed under oath. During this process, Meghan and Prince Harry could potentially be questioned about the allegations surrounding comments made within the royal family concerning the color of their son Archie's skin.
The Sun reported that in the Dutch translation of his book "Endgame," writer Omid Scobie identified King Charles and Princess Kate as individuals who allegedly inquired about Archie's skin color. Samantha contends that she has suffered widespread hatred, contempt, and ridicule as a result of Meghan and Harry's statements, both in the Netflix series and during the Oprah Winfrey interview.
Mr. Tickton emphasized the need to explore the issue of royal discriminators, suggesting that there were underlying reasons for Meghan's estrangement from her family and her subsequent public statements. He accused Meghan's legal team of stonewalling requests for information in hopes of having the case dismissed by a judge. Mr. Tickton indicated his intention to file a motion with the court next month demanding the handover of relevant documents.
Meghan and Harry were approached for comment, but as of now, they have not responded. It is apparent that Samantha seeks to continue her pursuit of reestablishing connections, evidenced by her ongoing legal action against Meghan. Notably, Samantha has had various roles in broadcasting, acting, and modeling, which required her to move frequently. At one point, she stayed in a spare room at Thomas's residence, Meghan's father.
An interesting incident occurred when Meghan, sharing a bathroom wall with Samantha's bedroom, displayed some bossy behavior. This prompted some to humorously refer to Samantha as "the princess." It seemed that Meghan was protective of her father's attention. There was an incident where Thomas asked them to select a gift from a catalog, and Samantha pointed to a $300 ring, to which Meghan remarked, "Babe, Sam's nickname, you're not getting that ring."
While Samantha may not necessarily be wealthier than Meghan, she possesses talents and capabilities that Meghan does not. For instance, she can produce a movie, write a book, or participate in certain Hollywood endeavors that Meghan appears to desire. Samantha should consider highlighting Thomas's Emmy Awards in her efforts to emphasize his success. Additionally, she could share happy family Christmas photos without mentioning Meghan to help her father move beyond the situation.
Regardless of the outcome of the court case, Samantha should aim to move forward and assist her father in putting the past with Meghan behind them.
