Meghan Markle says it’s a ‘feeling’ not a ‘fact’ she grew up as only child

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.
