Samantha Markle, the estranged half-sister of the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, filed papers in a Florida district court on Friday 3 February 2023 suing her sibling for $75,000 (£62,000) in damages over comments the latter made during her blockbuster TV interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021 and in Finding Freedom, a 2020 biography.
The complainant, 58, claims her reputation suffered after the former TV actress, 41, made what she alleges were “demonstrably false and malicious statements” about her when discussing their childhood, saying she was subjected to “humiliation, shame and hatred on a worldwide scale” as a result of the Duchess’s remarks.
