Meghan Markle has won a lawsuit brought on by Samantha Markle. The Duchess of Sussex just experienced a major legal victory—winning the defamation lawsuit brought on by her half-sister Samantha. The case was dismissed by a Florida district court judge on March 12, because Samantha “failed to identify any statements that could support a claim for defamation or defamation-by-implication,” according to court documents obtained by Access Hollywood. Meghan was accused of defamation by her half-sister over comments she made during her 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey and on her Netflix show, “Harry and Meghan.” Meghan’s attorney Michael Kump said in a statement “we are pleased with the Court’s ruling dismissing the case.” Samantha’s team told Access “of course, this is very upsetting” and that they are appealing the decision adding “don’t count us out, just delayed.”
