Meghan Markle is set for a court showdown with her half-sister, Samantha Markle, on September 9, it has been confirmed. The Duchess was sued by her relative over remarks made in the Sussexes’ interview with Oprah Winfrey and Netflix documentary but lost in March 2024.
A judge at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeal in Atlanta, Georgia, previously set a tentative date for Samantha to try and revive her libel case against Meghan in the week commencing August 11. However, a court filing seen by the Express shows that an oral argument is now scheduled for Tuesday, September 9, 2025, in Jacksonville, Florida, at 9 a.m., local time.
60-year-old Samantha is Meghan’s half-sister from her father’s side of the family and has not shied away from speaking out about her in the past.
