Meghan Markle Just Received A Setback In Her Lawsuit Over ‘Only Child’ Comments From Her Oprah Interview

Meghan Markle‘s legal battle with her estranged half-sister may not be over, as she has appealed the district judge’s recent decision to dismiss her libel lawsuit against the former Suits actress.

If you’ll recall, Samantha Grant – who also goes by Samantha Markle – sued the Duchess of Sussex over some of the comments she made in her infamous Oprah Winfrey interview which aired in March 2021.

One of those comments was that Meghan claimed to be an only child, which Samantha argued was not only untrue, but also defamed her character. However, the case was dismissed in March 2024 by a district court judge in Tampa, Florida. Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell said she “failed to identify any statements that could support a claim for defamation.”
