Samantha Markle has been warned by a former US prosecutor that she could face ruin if Meghan Markle successfully dismisses her defamation lawsuit.
The 58-year-old half sister of the Duchess has sued her for defamation in which she alleges Meghan "published and disseminated false and malicious lies designed to destroy [her] reputation" and exposed her to "humiliation, shame and hatred on a worldwide scale" to paint a false narrative of her childhood.
Meghan immediately filed a motion to dismiss the case - a motion filed when someone believes that the complaint is invalid - which has now been pending for a whole year. A legal expert has warned that if Meghan is successful in dismissing the lawsuit, Samantha could face financial ruin if she is required to pay the royal's legal bills.
