Samantha’s third attempt to pin a defamation claim on the duchess of Sussex was thwarted Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell, who, indetermined the plaintiff “failed to identify any statements that could support a claim for defamation or defamation-by-implication.” The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can’t be brought back to court.
In her lawsuit, Samantha Markle alleged that the comments by the now-estranged member of the British royal family suggested that she was an “unwelcome opportunist” who had “concocted a fictitious story to reap some inappropriate reward.”Honeywell determined that the 18 statements Samantha provided as evidence of defamation had a “plethora of issues,” according to court documents.
