Meghan Markle has achieved a significant victory in court, with a Florida judge throwing out a defamation lawsuit filed against her by her half-sister, Samantha Markle. Samantha had alleged that Meghan’s remarks to Oprah Winfrey regarding her upbringing as an only child and limited interactions with Samantha were untrue, malicious, and shameful. Meghan’s legal team had sought to have the case dismissed, arguing that she was simply sharing her own perspective on her life. The judge in Florida has now ruled in Meghan’s favor, dismissing Samantha’s $75,000 lawsuit on the grounds that Meghan’s description of her experiences growing up was her personal opinion and not defamatory.
