Lawyers representing the Duchess of Sussex will appear in a Florida courtroom to request the dismissal of a defamation case brought by her half-sister Samantha Markle. The case alleges that Meghan defamed Samantha in the Oprah Winfrey interview and the Royal couple's Netflix series. If the suit proceeds, Meghan may be required to disclose private messages involving her sister and father.
Lawyers for the Duchess of Sussex will appear in a Florida courtroom next week to demand the judge throw out the case brought by Meghan’s half-sister Samantha Markle alleging the Duchess defamed her in the famous Oprah Winfrey interview and in the Royal couple's Netflix series.
She shamelessly declared to a worldwide audience that by the time that millions witnessed her wedding to her husband Prince Harry in 2018 the pair had already tied the knot. Much is riding on the outcome of a November 8 hearing in Florida and whether a judge will allow a libel case brought by Meghan’s half-sister Samantha Markle to go ahead, writes Nigel Jones.

But the court case in Florida is not the only red-letter day in November for the exiled Duke and Duchess. Two days later, on November 14, Harry’s father, King Charles, will reach the milestone birthday of 75 - but again, there is no sign Harry will return to the country he spurned to wish his dad many happy returns.
