Meghan Markle could be questioned under oath about the alleged racist royals she cited in her Oprah interview in 2021 as part of the libel case filed against her by her estranged sister Samantha Markle.

The 59-year-old claimed that her half-sister defamed her in the interview after saying that she "grew up as an only child". She also accused the royal of having subjected her to "worldwide hatred, contempt, and ridicule" over assertions that she only changed her surname back to Markle after learning of Meghan's relationship with Prince Harry, saying it made her look like a liar who is out for "profit and fame".
