00:00 Meghan Markle is known to have a rough relationship with both her father and her half-sister,
00:06 Samantha Markle.
00:08 Samantha had originally sued Meghan in March but was shot down by a judge in Florida.
00:13 Now, another lawsuit has been placed and is set to take place in November 2024.
00:20 According to Express, Samantha seeks $75,000 in damages after Meghan's interview with
00:26 Oprah Winfrey.
00:27 Meghan's attorney, Michael Klump had previously stated, "The case has failed because it
00:34 runs head first up against defamation law and the First Amendment."
00:37 However, Samantha and his lawyer think otherwise, as presented in the lawsuit.
00:44 Unfortunately, once Meghan met and began dating Prince Harry, Meghan became hostile to Samantha,
00:50 as well as her half-brother and her father, and Meghan's relationship with Samantha
00:54 became estranged.
00:56 We will have to see if the case is dismissed or if Meghan will see her half-sister in court.
