Megan Markle and Prince Harry are facing a deposition in a lawsuit brought by Meghan’s half-sister, Samantha Markle. According to reports, a judge has ruled that the couple must be deposed in the lawsuit.
Megan’s half-sister, Samantha, is suing the couple for defamation after comments made in a notorious 2021 Oprah interview and Meghan’s book “Finding Freedom.” Samantha claims that the couple’s comments were defamatory and led to her being shamed and humiliated worldwide.
Samantha’s legal team wants to question the Duke and Duchess of Sussex about their statements and the actions surrounding them. The deposition is expected to take place in the next few months.
Samantha has previously criticized Prince Harry and Meghan, speaking out against the couple in the media. In 2018, she released a book titled “The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister,” which she claims is a “tell-all” about her relationship with the duchess.
This lawsuit marks another legal battle for the couple, who have faced numerous legal actions since they stepped down as senior members of the royal family. In the past year, they have faced lawsuits over the publication of a private letter, as well as a legal dispute over the use of their son’s image on a charity project.
The deposition is expected to be a lengthy process, with both sides preparing for the legal battle. It is not yet known what the outcome of the lawsuit will be, but the deposition is sure to be a significant development in the case.
