Meghan Markle might find herself back in court as her half-sister Samantha Markle seeks to overturn a previous legal victory. Samantha’s lawyers are working on an appeal following the court’s dismissal of her initial case, where she accused Meghan of making disparaging remarks during high-profile interviews.

During Meghan and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan stated she was mainly raised as an only child and noted that Samantha only reverted to the Markle surname “when I started dating Harry.” Samantha’s legal team argued that these statements were hurtful and false, portraying her as a “stranger, a liar, and a fame-seeker.”

Despite Meghan’s win in the initial case, Samantha has now escalated the lawsuit to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeal. Her lawyers have until July to file their initial brief, as they aim to prove that Meghan’s remarks had a cumulative negative impact that the court previously overlooked.

This ongoing family dispute continues to draw public attention, highlighting the complex dynamics between the half-sisters. The legal community and royal followers alike await the developments in this case, which may once again bring Meghan into the courtroom.
