Meghan Markle has claimed it is a ‘feeling’ and not a ‘fact’ that she grew up as an only child after being accused by her half-sister of lying.

The Duchess’ attorneys made their case in legal documents filed as part of her ongoing fight with half-sister Samantha.

Samantha is suing Meghan for allegedly peddling a ‘rags to riches’ story in her tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.

In a court document, Samantha claims the Duchess of Sussex launched a ‘premeditated campaign to destroy her and her father’s reputation.

But Meghan’s attorneys have denied Samantha’s claims that she lied about growing up as an only child.

The lawyers say it’s ‘how she feels’, despite having two half-siblings.

“It is hard to imagine a more personal and subjective feeling than how one views their own childhood. Moreover, Plaintiff’s opposition completely ignores the context of the statement, where Ms Winfrey asked Meghan about her “relationship” with Plaintiff (to whom Ms Winfrey referred as her “half-sister on her father’s side”).

“Meghan’s response to that question that she “grew up as an only child” was obviously not meant to be a statement of objective fact that she had no genetic siblings or half-siblings.”

The lawyers also dismissed Samantha’s complaints about information in the book Finding Freedom, saying Meghan can’t be blamed for that because she didn’t write the book.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
