Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha is still trying to fight her sibling in court, and claims the royal has ‘destroyed her publicly’ in new court documents.
It comes after Samantha was dealt a blow in court, when Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell ruled she couldn’t prove Meghan’s comments were defamatory. Honeywell said Meghan Markle‘s comments on Samantha were opinions that were ‘substantially true based on judicially noticed evidence’.
“Meghan knew what she was doing, and how to do it,” Samantha’s legal team said. “She [Meghan] destroyed Samantha publicly and on a global scale.”
“She has made it so Samantha cannot work, or even enjoy the most mundane of activities, like going to the grocery store without harassment,” they added.

Meghan Markle’s sister Samantha appeals
Samantha plans to appeal the judge’s decision on Meghan Markle. She believes she was depicted as someone ‘who is out to harm Meghan and to capitalize on that harm caused’.
The 59-year-old doesn’t agree with the judgement that rejects her claim Meg portrayed her as a ‘lying, racist, fame-seeker’.
In court documents seen by The Sun, Samantha accuses Meghan Markle of discrediting her by saying she didn’t know her half-sister growing up.
The case was filed over comments the royal made in her interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, and in the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan from December 2022.
After Honeywell’s ruling Samantha was forced to drop the $76,000 lawsuit.
She filed her appeal two days before Meghan’s 43rd birthday last week.
Her legal team say it was falsely implied that Samantha was part of a hate group of online trolls.
They say Meg claiming she didn’t know Samantha growing up was to discredit a book she had written about her.
