A Florida judge has set an October 2023 trial date for the defamation case.
Meghan Markle is heading to court for a new combat as the trial date of Samantha Markle's defamation lawsuit in opposition to the Duchess has been validated via a US judge.
Samantha, 57, is suing Prince Harry's wife, over claims made in her Oprah Winfrey interview and the Finding Freedom unauthorised biography.
A Florida choose has set an October 2023 trial date for the defamation case if they fail to settle or unravel it in mediation.
Samantha, who is looking for $75,000 (£57,000) in damages, contests Meghan pronouncing in her TV interview that she “grew up as an solely child”.
She also claims Meghan instructed “false and malicious lies” about her fairytale “rags-to-royalty” upbringing at her paternal family’s expense.
And Samantha claims the Finding Freedom e book subjected her to “humiliation, disgrace and hatred on a worldwide scale”.
It comes after amid after Meghan's criminal group moved to disregard the case in papers submitted to the Florida courtroom in July. However, Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell is allowing the case to proceed.
