Samantha Markle's Defamation Lawsuit Against Meghan Markle Set for Trial

The case, stemming from Meghan's 2021 Oprah interview, is scheduled to begin on November 4, 2024.

Samantha Markle's defamation lawsuit against Meghan Markle is set to go to trial on November 4, 2024, in Tampa, Florida.
Samantha alleges Meghan defamed her during a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey by stating she was raised as an only child.
The lawsuit claims Meghan's statements damaged Samantha's reputation and the credibility of her book detailing their relationship.
Samantha's original defamation case against Meghan was dismissed earlier this year, but an amended suit has resulted in the new trial date.
Meghan's attorney has called Samantha's case baseless and a violation of defamation law and the First Amendment.
