Back in 2022, Samantha sued Meghan for defamation claiming she was pushing a false narrative about her childhood and upbringing.

In her suit, she took issue with Meghan’s 2021 interview with Oprah and various other interviews. Samantha had issues with the 2020 biography Finding Freedom, written by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, which she believes Meghan may have worked on. Meghan has denied the claim.

Meghan has been unsuccessful in attempting to have the lawsuit dismissed. Recently, the judge presiding over the case ordered Meghan to sit for a deposition despite her objections.

On the list of documents that Samantha has demanded, there are multiple requests for information relating to Meghan’s first wedding to Trevor in 2011. The pair divorced in 2013.

Samantha’s lawsuit said, “On Page 317, the book falsely states that Mrs. Markle was not invited to the Duchess’ first wedding. This was another false statement designed to bolster the false position that the two sisters had no real relationship.”

One request read, “Please list the full name of each and every relative invited to attend your first wedding. For each individual listed, please also provide the date that he/she was invited to your first wedding and whether or not he/she attended your first wedding.

Further, Samantha wants, “Any and all documents which relate to, or list the attendees of your first wedding.”

This baseless and absurd lawsuit is just a continuation of a pattern of disturbing behavior. We will give it the minimum attention necessary, which is all it deserves,” Meghan’s lawyer said when the lawsuit was filed.

A judge has yet to rule on the battle over documents.
