In November, a Florida judge gave Samantha Markle a “trial date” for her second attempt at suing the Duchess of Sussex for defamation. The first attempt was laughed out of court without a trial, and I would assume this second attempt will be as well, but everything needs to go through legal channels. Throughout this entire ordeal, it’s been clear that there’s a nefarious British scheme to fund Samantha’s lawsuits, likely as a way to provide dumbf–k content for the British media, plus they just love being an unhinged thorn in Meghan’s side. The whole thing is shady as hell, and people like Piers Morgan have already given up the game – they’re absolutely behind all of this Markle Family psychodrama, and Thomas and Samantha are playing along for paltry payoffs. Well, here’s even more evidence that British media figures are behind all of it: Samantha’s lawyer is briefing the British media about his plans to depose Meghan and ask her about the royal racists.
The Duchess of Sussex could be questioned under oath about the identity of the so-called “royal racists”. Lawyers want to quiz Meghan over “family matters” as part of sister Samantha Markle’s libel action against her in the US. And Peter Ticktin, for Samantha, said the Royal Family racism accusations “need to be explored”.
In the Dutch translation of his book Endgame, writer Omid Scobie identified King Charles and Princess Kate as those alleged to have asked Meghan and Prince Harry what colour their son Archie’s skin might be.
Samantha claims she has been subjected to “worldwide hatred, contempt, and ridicule” as a result of Meghan and Harry’s comments in their Netflix series and in the 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. Her lawsuit alleges Meghan’s claim she grew up an only child and half-sister Samantha only changed her name back to Markle after she began dating Prince Harry made her look like a “liar for profit and fame”.
Samantha’s Florida-based lawyer Mr Ticktin told The Sun on Sunday he will demand the Sussexes submit to a deposition — a formal interview under oath as part of a US lawsuit.
Mr Ticktin said: “The royal racists issue needs to be explored. There’s reasons why she abandoned her family and turned on her family. This is a person who wants to be able to say horrible things and not really care if she destroyed the lives of people in her family. She doesn’t care if she destroys the monarchy.”
Mr Ticktin said Meghan’s lawyers were “stonewalling” their requests for information in the case in the hope that a judge would dismiss it. But he said he will file a motion with the court next month demanding they hand documents over. Meghan and Harry were approached for comment.
So, Samantha is still claiming that she was defamed when Meghan said she FELT like she grew up as an only child, and Samantha changed her name back to Markle and gave countless interviews trashing her half-sister, and now Samantha’s lawyer wants to depose Meghan and ask her about… a letter Meghan wrote to King Charles? Yeah, this whole thing is really crazy. Everything around the coordinated assault against the Sussexes is so disturbing. These people are not going to stop any time soon.

What does the royal racists have to do with Scammy? Meghan has barely spoken about her so how is she responsible for ruining her reputation? The judge is going to throw out this case again.
They royal racists are using (paying) her to do their dirty work to try to bring her down . Why else would this lawyer be asking those questions whe this joke of a law suit is about Meg saying she was raised an only child.
Yeah, and it’s really disturbing how relentless they are.
Oh, it’s a fishing expedition. And red meat to the funders (Murdoch, KP, or both).
I think Scammy just wants money hence why she keeps coming out with these nuisance complaints.
She wants Meghan’s attention and some sort of engagement whereby she thinks Meghan will just pay her to go away, but that will happen.
Also doesn’t US law have some sort of bar against vexatious litigants ?
Correction – that will *NOT* happen
Yup, to paraphrase William, “Very much not a frivolous lawsuit.” And I sorely hope that Meghan’s lawyers engage in discovery about who is funding this/these lawsuits from a woman who is not employed and is receive publicly funded benefits. Scamantha’s lucky that Meghan didn’t go into how she changed her hair color to jet-black to try to approximate Meghan’s locks too.
“She doesn’t care if she destroys the monarchy.”.
An American lawyer, whose current case has nothing to do with monarchy, is yiping this out???
Ticktin has his own problems/problematic behaviour. Now he’s concerned about the monarchy? Hmmm no.
This is not surprising. Scammy must have been tearing her hair out to see that her own daughter, who wants nothing to do with her, appeared in the Sussexes Netflix documentary and is clearly very close to Meghan. That must be driving her even further into jealous insanity and of course Scammy is lashing out and doing everything vengeful she can.
Meanwhile, they’re still trying to get Harry deported back to the UK – as if he would ever have to return there.
Even IF Harry & Meghan decided to ever leave the us, they would have dozens of countries that would welcome them with open arms. They would NEVER have to return to Shutter Island.
As for Scammy and her shyster lawyer, Scammy could not withstand a deposition, and deposing her would be a lawyer’s wet dream – her past is so horrible, her treatment of her children was awful, and all of that is relevant.
Calling for Meghan to be deposed is just for the tabloids.
They want to destroy Meghan and Harry and drive Meghan to the brink of suicide again. Evil nasty people and I am looking forward to that horrid lots down fall.
Scammy wants money and attention. If only she had paid this much attention to Megan when they were younger.
Meghan isn’t in danger of self harm because a roach keeps trying to get into her house. Even if the roach is being funded by the British media. Her lawyers are there to squash it every time. But Scammy is going to slip up and find herself on the other side of a lawsuit if she doesn’t stop.
Discovery for a civil suit is often wide ranging but this is ridiculously irrelevant. This whole Samantha Markle permanent law suit reminds me of the Heritage Foundation’s never ending attempts to pry loose Harry’s visa application from DHS. There are very deep pockets behind all this expensive nonsense.
I don’t believe the BRF really want Meghan confirming how awful they were to her in an open court. This has to be the media wanting the threat of this information being put out there because of Harry’s lawsuit. It’s highly unlikely Samantha has the means to pay for all of this. It’s more than likely she’s allowing herself to be used to make things very difficult for the BRF. It’s interesting that this is being reported in the Sun. A Murdoch owned publication which Harry is taking to Court. I think this is a warning shot to the BRF to do something about H&M or “they” will bring the BRF down with them.
Good point.
Totally agree with you @Laura. Can u imagine having a lawyer who is completely ignoring your case and pursuing his own agenda in cahoots with a powerful cabal?
Surely, even scammy can see she is being used. Because she is obviously not the one funding this excursion and as we all know, its he who pays the piper that calls the tune.
Anyhooooo…….we can look forward to this ticktin fellow getting his usual just rewards from the courts: sanctioned. Again.
Just as he brought nothing but more trouble for trump when he was laughably called on by rump’s other, real lawyers when they filed a suit for trump in Florida. And with ticktin being based in Florida, he was called on to do the deed and he promptly got sanctioned by the judge for his shenanigans.
Ticktin is on very thin ice. Chris Bouzy from Spoutible could tell more than a thing or two about him. I wouldnt be surprised if ticktin ends up losing his licence at the end of all this abuse of the justice system that he’s engineering, on behalf of britain’s shidtmedia.
It appears the BRF made a deal with the devil when they begged for positive stories about Camilla so Chuck could marry her. Now the BM is running the UK and the BRF are coming to them begging. Chuck has shown he cared more about marrying Camilla than he did for his own son’s life.
Yeah if this one has legs, I’d love to see financial discovery/forensic accountant from Meg’s side.
Kingston, it’s possible she hasn’t figured out she’s being used. Obviously, she’s not very bright. And I’m not surprised that she’s involved with Trumpy lawyers. She’s like a female Trump when it comes to grift.
Brassy Rebel, Scammy is an active, vocal Trump supporter (surprising no one)
I know most families have their dysfunction (mine certainly does lol), but I cannot imagine trying to navigate one with people as vile, disgusting, and unhinged as Meghan’s half-sister Samantha. This woman has no bottom.
Don’t try to imagine it.
It’s terrifying.
This is just one example: my mother helped my family out financially, we accepted on her offer to help. She said it was an advance of inheritance b/c we were in dire straights (husband had grave injury & couldn’t work. My full time salary wasn’t enough).
Think 5-6k.
A few years later my sister threatened to have me charged with elderly abuse b/c my mother, when angry with me, told her I threatened & coerced her to get the money.
It was a terrifying time, navigating that situation.
They are all out of my life now but the trauma lives on.
I feel for Meghan.
I am so sorry you went through that. I agree, this kind of thing from family members can be truly callous and traumatising.
Would a judge even allow that? It has absolutely nothing to do with the case at hand
Generally no. Even in a deposition you have to have provide some sort of foundation for your questions. Suing someone for defaming you for their own childhood perspective and saying you also don’t get along with these people so I get to ask you questions about them isn’t relevant. It’s nonsense just like the Heritage nonsense. It’s just a way for them to mine information to write articles about. They don’t have any leaks on the Sussexes and are constantly on the back foot with news about them so they can’t mold perception anymore and they are desperate. Nothing that those other royals do last for more than a day in a media cycle, even huge things like the coronation. Has anything that they’ve done in the last 6 months been brought up again that you can think of in worldwide news? They need to be able to break huge news about the Sussexes for paydays. And catch up stories and grainy pap shots aren’t doing it.
She can refuse to answer if it is not relevant or challenge it with the judge. Truthfully this has been allowed to go on far too long without a final ruling one way or another. This limbo for this particular case is getting old, how many years has it been now?
I’m assuming her attorneys will have the judge on speed-dial to resolve any issues of relevance.
I have a sense that Meg’s Lawyer’s are giving Scammy enough rope to eventually hang herself.
They’re allowing her to exhaust all avenues of absurdity to build a case against her. If I remember correctly she had previously been designated as a fixated person.
I also hope that Meghan eventually bankrupts her and she is forced to sell that trailer to get out of dodge. Failing that it will be interesting to see how she pays her legal fees because this must be costing her a fortune in fees ?
Your reference to Scamantha’s name being placed on the “fixated” list just reminded me of the time that Scam left Florida and went to England UNINVITED (Kensington Palace, I think) to hound Meghan. My God, how do you then have the nerve to deny that you would go so far as to change your name back to Markle after Meghan’s engagement? Gee, I wonder how she financed the airfare and the lodgings for that trip. Interviews by royal reports? In other words, totally unrelated to Meghan, as she claims.
Sammy your own actions caused you to be disliked. She appears to bots and derangers. She has no power to call Meghan to the stand . She is being subsidized. What a disgrace. Her own children have nothing to do with her
I’ll never understand how the racism from the RF can possibly have ANYTHING to do with Meghan feeling like an only child during part of her raising.
It truly boggles my mind that all of this is because a white Prince married a biracial actress. It’s really that simple. Racism is a cancer.
This is sick and unpleasant to witness. Am really tired of the way the courts are being used to terrorize Meghan.
There is a need to find out who is subsidizing Samantha
My hypothesis ideas🧐🤔.. Piers Morgan, Heritage Foundation, Peggy, Chucky, Pick a tabloid owner any one of them🤷🏻♀️ I’m sure there are many that I have missed.
Who is funding the Heritage Foundation’s continued attacks on Harry? My money is on Murdoch paying for all of it
My guess is the UK tabloids.
Cases like these are easy fodder and they can draw it out for titillation and endless column inches to feed their gammons.
Don’t depositions work both ways? Does Samantha think she would hold all the cards and not have everything about her, including who is funding her hate campaign, probed?
That line of questioning would actually be relevant to the case and probably allowed in any deposition unlike the other narrative being peddled.
Doubt it’s relevant. Samantha never claimed that her so called defamation was linked to what Meghan said about the BRF. Her claims are very narrow. She is limited to her original claims, she cannot add new claims to this amended complaint.
Has her attorney served interrogatories on Meghan’s attorney. This is usually done before a date for a deposition is set.
These are questions that he will submit to be answered in written form and Meghan’s attorney can respond to it by stating that it is not relevant to the issue. Samantha’s attorney then has to file a motion to the court requesting a response has to submit reasons why it is relevant to the case at hand. He can’t just go on a fishing expedition on any thing he or his payers want.
He is just blowing smoke up the ass of whoever is paying.
I am more interested in the interrogatories Meghan’s attorney is going to send Samantha, if this case gets that far.
They absolutely do and it would be much worse for her. Because the questioning would likely focus on the time period she claims she had a close relationship with Meghan, likely bringing up losing custody of Ashley and her other legal issues then. Also they could ask what business deals has she lost since the interview? Who was paying her, what did they want to know that she isn’t seen as a trustworthy source on anymore? None of that in official court records would be great for not looking like a BM hatchet job.
She’s on a hiding to nothing. She was living on Social Security before Meg got engaged so she may actually be opening a can of worms by also claiming she was making lucrative earnings.
@Flower. That is so true. I know someone who retired and was drawing SSI. He got a job making twice what he received in SSI.
He declared the earnings on his taxes and all hell broke lose. He was wacked with penalties which were payable within 30 days. SSI Administration also clawed back all the SSI paid to him during that period. His mom had to dip into her retirement funds to pay the penalties and clawed back funds.
She is opening an ass whooping that she will never recover from.
Weren’t they also trying to get Meghan’s medical records and the judge put a stop to it? What is taking her so long to dismiss this nonsense?
The attorney for Samantha hasn’t filed that paperwork yet, as he said in his statement, he plans on filing it next month. So basically, the judge has to wait until the paperwork is filed before she can say “nope”.
Just throw the trash bucket Markel’s, British media and British royals in the bin. Take them all out on trash collection day and the light a bonfire to be sure.My prayers for Meghan and Harry for 2024 is for them to have peace from all these deranged nuts
Can this woman just go away. Like, enough. No one wants to hear from you.
I always knew, well, suspected that the following construction is at play regarding Scammy’s lawsuit and the defamatory media appearances (although less frequent in recent mounts) of the Markle trio:
1) Lawsuit:
A: At the UK side: Morgan/The SUN;
B) At the US side: The Heritage Foundation are behind the Scammy’s lawsuits.
All is funded by Murdoch, that is to say, he is paying Scammy lawyers via the Heritage Foundation (allegedly).
2) Markles in de media:
A) At the UK side Wootton/GBNews is/was behind the 3 Markle’s paid media appearances, since P Morran left Good Morning Britain, GMB, who was the one doing the Meghan defemorary and smear campaign from the start.
B) At the Australian side there is the daily Murdoch Meghan bassing show, through his awful right-wing morning Tv-show/Networks.
Now that Wootton is gone, the Markles only appear on Murdoch’s Australian TV, sporadically.
C) At the US/UK side: The Heritage Foundation USA and their branche in the UK are doing the Murdoch defamatory PR against Meghan (and Harry).
So this lawsuit in a Florida Court, given the ones who bankrol it, will be milked as long as the judge (who seem to have a lot of time for Scammy) allows to continue.
Mr Ticktin said: “The royal racists issue needs to be explored. There’s reasons why she abandoned her family and turned on her family. This is a person who wants to be able to say horrible things and not really care if she destroyed the lives of people in her family. She doesn’t care if she destroys the monarchy.”
—What does the monarchy have to do with Samantha Markle, Mr. Ticktin? Is it the monarchy that’s paying your bills?
Scammy’s ambulance chaser of a lawyer just gave it away that someone with deep pockets is funding the lawsuit. Most likely the press, mining for fresh content. The “royal racist” claim has no bearing; they tried it before. Also, the judge has not ruled on the motion to dismiss; so the BM is misleading its audience that the case is going forward. That lawyer represented Trump in that defamation lawsuit against Hillary Clinton & his legal skills got him a L for Trump and an order that has 45 paying nearly $1M to Clinton. (Trump is appealing.) That lawyer has been sanctioned – ordered to pay fines – for filing a frivolous lawsuit. Scam is the
useful idiot the BM set up to take the reputation and financial fall when the case is dismissed.
Will somebody please section this head case. Is she really that stupid that she can’t see she’s just a tool to the British media! And what Harry says or doesn’t say has fk all to do with her.
I’m beginning to believe that her lawyer is a sandwich short of a picnic, does he not believe in due diligence??, because neither Harry or Megan used the word racist!!! Surely to god there is enough going on in the American courts that the judge will just tell this woman to cease and desist or face full blown legal action against her, her solicitor and who ever is funding her. It’s getting beyond farcical now
Meth. It has to be meth. Hennyyyyy what is dis?!
I would like Scammy to be confronted with how much money she has charged for paid interviews trashing her much younger half sister whom she barely knows. SM is a bottom feeder grifting on her remote connection to a well known woman of accomplishment. She is probably being funded by deep pocketed folk with nasty agendas of their own. Her claims are risible. Her own biography made it clear her livelong jealousy and resentment of her successful younger half sibling that prevented any possibllity of them having a close relationship. SM never had any time for Meg but once bad dad boasted about Harry, the grifter felt entitled to exploit any chance of monetarising the dad’s invitation to the wedding. She arranged those pictures and cut herself a percentage. She has NEVER stopped foghorning away about her half sister despite knowing nothing about her adult life. I am ashamed of UK TV for continuing to platform these stalker grifters with a shake of the head, as in why won’t Meg get in touch??? WTF we all have boundaries and why should Meg have anything to do with this unhinged woman due to an accidental DNA connection?
Utterly irrelevant to the case. If the RF know what’s good for them, they should find a way to shut this lawsuit down, because Meghan has made it clear, more than once, that she keeps ALL the receipts. I very much doubt the Ratchet Racists want that on permanent record in court proceedings.
Sam and her brother tom made racist comments about Dori a. Does scam want that told in a courtroom.
Yup, she’s said some terrible things about Doria. Scammy’s mother Roslyn even said her daughter is a racist, and when Toxic Tom married Doria, Scammy told all her friends that Doria was the maid because she’s black. Roslyn told the fail that Doria “is not a nice person.” SMH…
I’m waiting for the Judge to file a decision on the motion to dismiss that was argued on November 8th. I suspect that will be coming out sooner rather than later.
I guess Murdoch (if he’s paying) didn’t learn enough about discovery in the US Courts when he was sued by Dominion. I just shrug my shoulders–you can ask in interrogatories and depositions, but that doesn’t mean you’ll get an answer. With the claims in Scammy’s lawsuit, I can’t see answers coming anytime in the future. That attorney knows that. This is just for the press.
So the BM wants Meghan to call out the racism in the royal family and in Britain so that she can be an even bigger target than she is now. Something has to be done about the machinations of the tabloids.
I really doubt that anyone is pulling Samantha’s strings. No one needs to. Also, she’s not a wealth of information anyhow. She barely knows Meghan and certainly doesn’t know Harry. As soon as Meghan began dating Harry, Samantha came crawling out of whatever hole she lives in to talk to anyone with a microphone about Meghan. She definitely wants money and (much like Piers Morgan) would flip on a dime if Meghan would allow her into her life. But her main motivation is hatred. She always has been indignant that her half black half sister has the life, money and fame she believes she deserves. Don’t think for a minute that that isn’t what this has been and will always be about.
Meghan failed to “stay in her lane”. BIPOCs are allowed to succeed only so much and only in chosen fields. It was fine when Meghan was on a hit show and wrote a lifestyle blog. But once she got uppity and thought it perfectly fine to go and make a prince fall in love with her – a prince who should be with an acceptable white woman – and marry her, she messed up. At least in Samantha’s and people like hers eyes.
I know it will never happen, because M&H are far nicer people than I am, but I’d love to see Scammy counter-sued for libel, slander, harassment, stalking, and everything else they can think of. And then get her both under oath and subjected to having her finances and life torn apart.
Then I’d love to see both the SSA and the IRS investigate Scammy’s supposed “earnings” – particularly for all her interviews, her “book” and how she’s affording this lawsuit in the first place, since it’s been stated that she lives off SSI. And having multiple family members of varying ages living off disability income, there is no way she can afford a lawyer on it, and all earnings above a very paltry amount dock SS disability income significantly. Which means in Scammy’s case either there are no earnings to speak of and she is doing it for sh*ts and giggles, or else she is hiding income. Or both. And she needs to remember that ‘gifts’ in exchange for her ‘work’ (aka flights, food, and hotel stays in exchange for interviews, or say, bankrolling her lawsuit in exchange for her filing one and amending complaints as directed) could, to an enterprising investigator, be counted as income. And any social security disability fraud can potentially bar you from receiving it at all in the future, or else give you a nice lengthy jail stay. And that doesn’t even touch what the IRS can do.
So come on karma…
“’…I’d love to see Scammy counter-sued for libel, slander, harassment, stalking, and everything else they can think of. And then get her both under oath and subjected to having her finances and life torn apart.”
^^ I think this is what is happening. I think they’re giving her enough rope to hang herself and then eventually will shut her up once she has put it all out there.
WHAT DID HARRY SAY?
THEY’RE NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL MY WIFE IS DEAD!
Scammy’s oldest daughter Ashleigh is about four years younger than Meghan. Her son is about six years younger than Meghan, so unless pregnant and married Scammy was living and being raised at the same time and place along with Meghan, Ashleigh and her son, Scammy is full of lies. Her children were taken from her and raised by their grandparents from the time Ashleigh was 2 and her son was an infant. Meghan lived in an apartment that was above a garage with her mom. The docuseries even confirms their living together during that time separate from her dad. I want to know what address does Scammy have listed during that time? When did she marry her kids dads? Where did they live during each of those marriages? How do you lose custody of your two year old and an infant only to be part of raising a child who was living primarily with her mother in an apartment over a garage? Who is funding this clear attempt to get information for the media owned by Murdoch? What does the names of the royal racists have to do with a childhood that took place three decades ago?
