After part of her case was dismissed, Markle on Thursday refiled her complaint to include statements made in the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan.
, filed in March 2022, originally concerned statements made ina biography of Meghan and her husband Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and in Meghan’s March 2021 CBS interview with Oprah Winfrey. In an order dated March 30, Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell dismissed the defamation claims based on the book with prejudice — meaning that Markle and her lawyers cannot refile based on them — because Meghan did not publish the biography.
In the amended complaint, Markle claims Meghan defamed her when she told Oprah that she “grew up as an only child,” and answered in the negative when asked if she and her half-sister were close. The statements, she says, were not “the mere opinion of an individual” but “weapon[s] to discredit and injure the reputation and pecuniary interests of [Markle].
The amended complaint focuses not just on what Meghan said when interviewed for the Netflix docuseries, but all of the statements made about Markle in the program, because it was coproduced by the Sussexes’ Archewell Productions. Markle claims that “all the statements were ultimately approved by and published by Meghan.”
The other alleged defamatory claims in the Netflix docuseries concern a segment on the harassment Meghan experienced on social media and in the press. Markle claims that one of the people interviewed in the documentary was hired by Meghan to make false and damaging statements about her half-sister’s online activity.
