Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha is launching an appeal against a judge’s decision to throw out a defamation case against the Duchess of Sussex.

Meghan’s half-sibling lost a battle against the former working royal after comments made during the couple’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey and their bombshell series on Netflix. A case was dismissed in March by a judge in Florida. Samantha Markle wasn’t happy with comments made by Meghan during her sit-down with Oprah or in her TV doc debut with her husband Prince Harry. But the case was ultimately thrown out and dismissed by Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell.

Now Samantha’s team has reportedly filed an appeal, which could overturn Honeywell’s decision. A court filing obtained by Newsweek states: “Notice is hereby given that the Plaintiff, Samantha M. Markle, by and through her undersigned counsel, appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit from the Order Granting Defendants, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, Motion to Dismiss entered by the Honorable Charlene Edwards Honeywell on March 12, 2024.”
