This interview could cost Duchess Meghan (41) dearly. Together with Prince Harry (38), the former actress unpacked in a detailed conversation with Oprah Winfrey (69) about the British royal family. But the mother of two also spoke about her past and is said to have lied about her childhood. She was then sued by her half-sister for around 74,000 euros in damages, and with success: Meghan was questioned by the court!
According to RadarOnline, a judge ruled that the couple must comment on their statements and allegations. According to Samantha Markle, Meghan’s interview publicly “humiliated” her. The 41-year-old is said to have tried to prevent the questioning, but in vain: “Defendant Markle has not demonstrated that unusual circumstances justify the requested stay or that damage or an unreasonable burden will arise if the court does not impose a stay,” explained Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell. No judgment has yet been made.
The New York Post previously reported that the siblings have until May 2023 to close the case. If Meghan and Samantha cannot agree, there will be a court date on October 2, 2023, but it should not last longer than five days.
