Samantha Markle is bringing a defamation case against her stepsister, Meghan Markle. Prince Harry and Meghan may have to take the stand in court.

Samantha Markle’s lawyers filed paperwork on Friday, February 4, demanding that Prince Harry and Meghan testify in court in her defamation lawsuit that alleges that Meghan made false and malicious statements about Samantha in the couple’s interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.

Samantha wants Meghan to make 38 separate admissions during her deposition. She wants her to admit that she lied to the entire world about her upbringing and relationship to create a false “rags to riches” tale, and she wants to see Meghan say that the late Queen Elizabeth II  and King Charles III are not racists.

Samantha, who has the same father as Meghan, Thomas Markle, but a different mother, accused her half-sister of withholding evidence.

Thomas Markle is also expected to take the stand, along with Jason Knauf, a former royal aide; Ashleigh Hale, Samantha’s daughter; and Christopher Bouzy, an online security expert.

Samantha, 58, and Meghan, 41, had been clashing for years before the 2021 Oprah Interview. Meghan accused Samantha and her father of selling false stories about her to the British tabloids.

Samantha is seeking $75,000 in the lawsuit. She filed the document after Meghan said she grew up as an only child and, according to Samantha, lied to Oprah about the last time the sisters saw each other. Samantha says Meghan’s lies during her interview  with Oprah subjected her to humiliation and hate.

Samantha, who has multiple sclerosis, says she was shocked and angered by claims which the couple made in their 2020 biography titled “Finding Freedom.”  She alleges that Harry and Meghan have been spreading false information about her in their memoirs and documentaries.

The two conflicting parties have hired Mary Ruth Houston, a British lawyer, to mediate the case to find a solution and avoid a trial.
