"Meghan Markle Triumphs in Defamation Lawsuits Filed by Half-Sister"

A federal judge dismissed a defamation lawsuit against Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, filed by her half sister, Samantha Markle, who accused Meghan of making disparaging and false statements about her. The judge ruled that Samantha Markle failed to identify any defamatory statements and that Meghan's comments were either protected as opinion or substantially true. The lawsuit stemmed from Meghan's interviews with Oprah Winfrey and a Netflix documentary series, in which she discussed her split from the royal family and her strained relationship with her half sister.
