EXCLUSIVE: It’s Markle vs. Markle! Meghan Markle faces more TURMOIL as her sister “THREATENS” to reveal SHOCKING SECRETS in an upcoming MEMOIR.

Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha has claimed the Duchess of Sussex defamed her in order to ‘cover up’ her ‘false rags-to-riches’ narrative.

The elder Markle, 58, appeared with her lawyer on Wednesday in a virtual court hearing on her defamation case against her half-sister.

Her attorney claimed Meghan ‘got caught’ and resorted to publicly ‘putting her sister down’ because she threatened to expose her.

Lawyers for Meghan, who were also present on the call, said the claims were ‘inappropriate’ and ‘offensive’ to the former Suits star, 41, and demanded the case be dismissed over its ‘fatal defects’.

Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell said she would issue her judgment later, but admitted she was ‘really struggling’ to see how Meghan published the statements at issue, a requirement for them to be defamatory.

Samantha launched the lawsuit last year seeking $75,000 in damages over Meghan’s claims in her and Prince Harry’s 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey and the 2020 biography Finding Freedom.
