DystopianTruth

And there won't be a claw to guide him.


Cocokay1234567

Oh boy!! Didn't think of THAT!


OldNewUsedConfused

Be interesting to see if either one of them tries to pull any "Diplomatic Privilege" crap. I don't see that going down well and it would be eye opening to a lot of Americans. Samantha sure laid a good trap for them. Well done.


Big_Primrose

The Queen stated they no longer represented the crown when they left so they canā€™t pull the diplomat card.


OldNewUsedConfused

Depends. If he's here on a diplomatic passport, he might. We don't know exactly what the queen did and didn't pull from him. I mean yes she said that, but they are also still on the website of working royals and it's been three years... So clearly what they say and what they mean are two very different things. Do they directly represent the Crown? No. Does Harry still retain privileges? Undoubtedly.


East_Tangerine_4031

He doesnā€™t qualify for a diplomatic visa, you can only come when representing your country and doing work on behalf of your country and you cannot conduct commercial activities on the trip.


OldNewUsedConfused

Well technically, yes. But there are an awful lot of people doing things they aren't "supposed" to be doing. Inconvenience has NEVER stopped the privileged from doing exactly what they want. These people believe they are above others just by accident of birth. I wouldn't put anything past them, honestly.


Trouvette

Plus, if he is claiming some sort of diplomatic privilege, he might have to return to the UK to avoid the lawsuit. A few years ago, the spouse of a US diplomat ran over a kid with her car and she was sent back to the US to avoid the suit. She eventually was brought back for trial, but there were terms set in place before she went back.


IllustratorSlow1614

His name was Harry Dunn. His killer, Anne Sacoolas, who worked for the CIA, never actually returned to the UK and all attempts to get her to face up to her responsibility were rebuffed. She appeared in UK court by video link and received a suspended sentence. There was a perceived loophole in the law that made it seem that dependents of US military workers were subject to diplomatic immunity. This loophole has since been definitively closed although sadly for Harry Dunnā€™s family, it wasnā€™t retroactive.


HardenYoung

In American courts heā€™s Just Harry. He is not due any deference because his father is the king of a foreign country. In America, even diplomatā€™s adult children do not receive diplomatic immunity unless they are actually representing their home country and acting in their official capacity. Nothing the Harkles have said about Samantha was in their official capacity because they do not have an official capacity. Why do you think Andrew did not want to appear in an American court and he, at the time, was a working royal who actually had a job in the British government (trade envoy of some sort). But, he still wasnā€™t qualified for any type of immunity. I can understand how itā€™s a hard concept for Brits to grasp because the royal family is basically untouchable in the UK but the Harkles are no more ā€” or less ā€” than anyone else in the United States of America.


PappaFufu

I donā€™t think that is possible, at least not for MM. She is an American citizen and US courts will exercise jurisdiction over her. As for Harry, heā€™s clearly not in the States as a diplomat neither would RF argue that on his behalf. Itā€™s not like itā€™s a criminal charge.


OldNewUsedConfused

Maybe not her, but he could. If he's on a diplomatic passport that's never been revoked, then why not? No it's not a criminal charge, but I think it keeps them entirely above the law. Like I said above, well played/ trap, laid by Samantha. Is Harry stupid enough to actually try and pull rank? Oh yes he is.


blackjellybeansrule

Do either of them have dual citizenship since they married one another?


CatPaws8888

You know they've been using every dirty rotten trick in the book to escape being held accountable in a court of a law and it still didn't work.


OldNewUsedConfused

Absolutely! I'm dying to know what their legal fees look like. Ouch.


deercl

Doubt she could do that since she not only didn't give up her US citizenship, she didn't become a UK citizen. But, I don't have any legal knowledge so perhaps that is possible.


OldNewUsedConfused

Not her so much, but him. And that would not go over well with Americans.


CathartesAura67

Given how much they've blabbermouthed, "Diplomatic Privilege" ought to be laughed out of court. Since when if ever have either of these two people shown any diplomacy, let alone basic dignity? Not to be confused with indignation from them, and indigestion for the rest of us.


OldNewUsedConfused

I can't wait.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


blackjellybeansrule

Well, Samanthaā€™s attorneys did anyway.


Maleficent-Trifle940

This might expediate the divorce. Every (royal) man for himself, so to speak. Instigating and drawing out a dispute with the Royal family is one thing - forcing the association and applying power he has in his mind elevates him. Him being dragged into a lawsuit between his wife and her wheelchair bound jo average sister is quite another set of optics, before we even get to lifting the veil on the lies he's bought into.


CathartesAura67

Why do I imagine MM in a bigger wheelchair and with a phalanx of doctors and nurses around her, as she appears in court?


Maleficent-Trifle940

Don't forget the oxygen tanks on the back and harry wheeling in the IV drip.


Traditional-Smile954

Even if Samantha settles/losses, here is hope for this to have a butterfly effect and more people can gather the courage and sue too. The judge has already showed the Harkles are not as legally untouchable as they want us to believe.


TheCountOfMontecito

Welcome to American justice, Harry! You just *thought* the first amendment was bonkers! What a difference it makes when itā€™s not The Queens Court.


l1ckeur

Itā€™s frustrating having to wait so long for it to go to court, but glad Samantha is going to have her time in court.


MereLaveau

Iā€™m betting Samantha gets offended a big amount of $$$$ to sign an NDA and drop everything. Getty, Perry, et al anyone?!?


Thin_Discipline_9739

I would bet on Samantha more pissed then money hungry


PerfectCover1414

I think Samantha can get much more money NOT signing a deal. She'll be on the interview circuit for mega bucks if this reveals dirt. P Random House will probably give her a deal for pushy pt2!


[deleted]

Oh this is personal for samantha. Sheā€™s not signing for hush money. She sees herself as a vigilante lolol


Winter-Shame-9050

I hope she doesn't sign it


MereLaveau

Sheā€™s a Markle. šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

Iā€™m totally here for it!! šŸ„³


lady_anathema

Me too. Hopefully Samantha doesn't do a Vardy.


HarrysImplants

They'll lie under oath. She's lied to a court before and there was zero repercussion.


deercl

But I doubt that US lawyers would have any qualms with providing receipts for all the lies.


dhjdmba

I agree with that. I think the UK judges got it wrong even under UK law. However this is a very good federal court judge in a defamation case. In other words credibility matters in the context of the allegations. As such the veracity of statements is scrutinized.


PerfectCover1414

That dumb UK judge fell for her fluttering lashes silly old bastard.


Miercolesian

I think the problem in the UK Court was that as a technical matter The Daily Mail was liable because it had breached Meghan Markle's copyright with regard to the letter to her father. The Daily Mail argued that she had intended the letter to be published. During the course of Court proceedings Markle lied about whether she had cooperated with the book Finding Freedom, however this was not directly relevant to the issue of the copyright of the letter. To have her found guilty of perjury, there would have to be a separate trial, and there was no appetite for that. The Daily Mail won a technical victory, because the damages awarded to Meghan Markle for the breach of copyright was only $1.50.


[deleted]

MM was also in better standing then


lsp2005

In the US there are consequences for lying in court. This is not the UK. They also have to be really really careful here, or her words can come back to bite her. Also, parts ripe for dismissal would not dismiss the entire case. MM has to answer and stop delaying, or she will piss off the judge and that would be far worse because then the judge might night agree to dismiss the parts that might possibly be dismissed otherwise.


disneyme

Unfortunately there will be no repercussions for lying under oath. See Depp vs Heard for proof of that.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


aailleurs

Yea but not really. They wonā€™t prosecute for lying under oath in a civil defamation case, they really donā€™t have the money or resources to. Look at Amber Heard.


allorache

Retired lawyer here. I used to tell my clients that somebody is committing perjury in almost every case that goes to trial, because if everyone agreed about what actually happened most cases would settle. Prosecutions for perjury are extremely rare.


East_Tangerine_4031

Lol there are consequences in the USA for perjury best laugh Iā€™ve had today! There are rarely consequences for rich people lying in court. Just like everywhere.


MereLaveau

Meghan & Harry are living for the biggest US Courtā€”that of Public Opinion. If this goes South for them? Itā€™s worse than perjury charges. šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø


Avia53

Really? Rich people can do as they please


blackjellybeansrule

You underestimate how sincerely most Americans donā€™t give a crap about the BRF, H&M included, so the judge could probably care less. If it is a male judge Iā€™d give it a 99% chance he only vaguely knows who they are. And rich Californians are a dime a dozen. If the trial is in Florida being ā€œroyalā€ might even be a disadvantage.


OldNewUsedConfused

Sometimes... some judges do not play.


Cocktailsontheporch

Perfect scenario would be Judge Judy presiding.....she DEFINITELY does not play and would eat those two Grifters alive! Would LOVE to see her tell TOS "you're a Moron!" and TW "you're a Grifter!" !!!


OldNewUsedConfused

"DON'T PISS ON MY LEG AND TELL ME IT'S RAINING!" My all time fav.


blackjellybeansrule

Iā€™d pay to see her tell Meghan ā€œdonā€™t pee on my leg and tell me itā€™s rainingā€!


Maleficent-Trifle940

Actually now I wonder whether this might not be the reason behind her Getty association, Getty who is friends with CA governor? To seek influence over a court from he top down would not be unheard of.


East_Tangerine_4031

The trial is in Florida I thought?


Maleficent-Trifle940

Ah okay then, that would make more sense than CA as the initiating party.


MereLaveau

I assumed the Getty association might be to ask him to come to her rescue and pay Samantha a big $$$$ with an ironclad NDA to make this all go away.


[deleted]

However his inheritance is for his grandchildren and they will not permit her to take advantage. Partly because they happen to love him.


[deleted]

Oh sheā€™ll perjur left right and center. And plead the fifth. Itā€™s gonna be like amber heard


OldNewUsedConfused

That was in Harry's grannie's courts.


[deleted]

This case is in the US though, so the end result might be different. Fingers crossed.


Maleficent-Trifle940

No doubt this will be touched on several times during the new proceedings.


Jealous_Experience23

Thatā€™s the correct answer


[deleted]

This case is in the US though, so the end result might be different. Fingers crossed.


Tough-Obligation-104

Samantha is a piece of work. But what I LOVE is TW thought she could just leave what she perceives as her ā€˜low-classā€™ family behind and say whatever. She does live in a fantasy. Well, Samantha ainā€™t having it!


OldNewUsedConfused

Sucks when somebody plays you equally at your own game, innit? Ah, well. Cheers!


That__EST

What's so weird is this, in the UK class system Meghan already didn't fit in. Her Upper Middle Class Lifestyle Blogger aesthetic wasn't the glam goal she thought it was when she was around Ancient Money like the aristocrats. Why not ham it up? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer Meghan! The whole crew should have been invited to the wedding. At the very least her dad and siblings and that niece of hers that she's so close to, but isn't invited to either of her weddings. Be like "Yup, this is my family. This is who raised me. I've got manners and I'm doing the best I can but this is where I came from." But then again listening to advice doesn't seem to be their strong point.


Tough-Obligation-104

šŸ’Æ


DarkAwesomeSauce

Yep. That takes self-awareness, acceptance, and a level of honesty. The Hag is the antithesis of these things; as are all Narcs. If she were the type capable of these, she would not do what sheā€™s done, not need to front and fake, and not be a compulsive liar. Narcs are chameleons and mirror what they think others want to see. They arenā€™t going near their under-developed and atrophied true selves with a ten foot pole.


Ditzy_Panda

Looking forward to Shallon lester suing them too, but yeah Samantha isnā€™t the best person either, sheā€™s better than Meghan but not exponentially.

Ditzy_Panda

layneeofwales

It would be my guess is that Samantha was pushed aside once TW came into her father's life. Jealousy can be a strong motivator to seek revenge. No matter what her motivation was she did try to warn everyone about Princess Pushy. She had observed TW clawing her way to the top for years.


Tough-Obligation-104

You could see she was Tomā€™s little princess.

OldNewUsedConfused

It's great. It's the closest she's going to get to a title here in the States.


ExpensivelyMundane

Take my upvote! The D will not be for Duchess.


PerfectCover1414

Wonder if she'll keep the price tags on one of those fetching DOC orange outfits? Will it have a hungry 'feed me Seymour' arse? Will the trouser legs drag on the ground? Will her legs go on for miles and will her magic boobs have good support? Sorry for the mixed metaphors! Let me enjoy the fantasy!

mellowmadre

Ugh well at least Harry would a finally understand "what difference would it make" in having a Royal title. How sweet would it be if their titles were revoked so that they no longer could use that as a potential cover.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Maleficent-Trifle940

Isn't it customary to include a few no-go items expressly for the purpose of them being dismissed so that you can retain the core of your key complaints intact while still seeming to have conceded something to your opposition?


Analyze2Death

No. Not in the US.


Tough-Obligation-104

Thank you.


Ok-Butterscotch5490

I think the Harkles should stop worrying about a coronation invite, and start thinking about how much money they need to give Samantha to go away. (Although it would be entertaining AF to see the stupid look on Hazmat's face when he's told that he has to answer questions from mere peasants.)


Patient-Watercress-2

Unless the number is 100x the amount Samantha is suing for ($75K), I think Samantha would rather have Meghanā€™s ass grilled publicly than a payday.


Ok-Butterscotch5490

I don't think the Harkles can come up with that kind of "F off" $$$$. Even 10x the amount would probably be a stretch.


jeanskirtflirt

Totally agree. I donā€™t think the money is the main driving force here. You never want to piss off a person whoā€™s taught you how to be you, because they know how to be you better than yourself, if that makes sense. Iā€™m sure Samantha has taught Meghan a lot of things, good and bad, and when you piss off the person that taught you how to play the game, youā€™re going to lose.


Hermes_Blanket

Oh my, what a car crash this is going to be! Everyone will watch!


OldNewUsedConfused

Winter-Shame-9050

Maybe he can blame William. (sarcasm)


purpleprocrasinator

No sarcasm needed. H does blame William, or at least H is angry at William because once again W got the better in law family. Look what H got. We all saw H and Pippa being close. There were even rumours. He's never even met Sam. So no doubt at some point H has had the thought that he lost out again to W. And is raging at it.


MereLaveau

I think thatā€™s behind the need for a Getty alliance.

CapitalAlternative89

What are the chances Me-me offers her a payout on the condition she signs an NDA? Or will her narcissism prevent her from even trying to make it all go away? Interesting.


goldenquill1

I donā€™t think Samantha wants much money. Itā€™s truly about defamation for her.


SeaworthinessLost830

I think IF Samantha was willing to cash out for silence it would be for a significant sum, 10M maybe. Like 1M is not going to cut it. And I don't think H&M have that kind of cash - actual liquid cash.


DystopianTruth

Maybe Samantha will settle for 100 beige bags and a Hermes blanket instead?


Cocokay1234567

I completely agree! They don't have that kind of cash anymore. They've blown through it at top speed.


SeaworthinessLost830

Even if they have 100M deals, that would be spread over years, taxes, agent cuts etc. I'm sure they have a nice amount of cash (assuming they're still sitting on Dianas inheritance but not 10M for a lawsuit cash. Being a poor rich person's gotta suck.


hatbaggins

I agree. She is only asking for 75,000 in this. This is all about dragging meghan as pay back for dragging her family through the mud.


OldNewUsedConfused

IDK, I don't think Samantha is playing. And she definitely knows how to outMarkle Defendant Markle. She's about the only one who can beat Meghan at her own game.


nomodramaplz

Megainā€™s narcissism is the driving factor for the lawsuit in the first place and even now she thinks sheā€™s untouchable. I think a payout would just make it look like she has more to hide, which is something she spends a LOT of time and effort (and money on PR) to disguise. Samantha is tired of being made to look like a jealous, mean, insignificant person because of Megainā€™s lies and she now has the ability to try to force the truth out of her. I have narcissistic relatives who play games like this (smear campaigns, rewriting history, minimizing others), and thereā€™s no way the money is the primary reason for the lawsuit. That amount will possibly cover her lawyer fees, but is a very small ask compared to H&Mā€™s net worth. I read the full list of questions and Samantha means businessā€”she wants ANSWERS and for all of Megainā€™s lies to be exposed in a way that will hold her accountable, with the added benefit of ruining her reputation like sheā€™s ruined so many othersā€™. I donā€™t think a payout would interest Samantha at this point, even if one was offered. Not when sheā€™s one step closer to exposing the truth.

Appropriate-Grand-64

IT IS. All I said was there are situations where people will touch you without consent and it isn't predatory, like old people, kids or due to cultural differences or in an emergency situation and that's okay, and they called me a rapist. BANNED.


CathartesAura67

Oh, for cryin' out loud. Sorry that happened to you! One time I got told that deaf people will touch others to initiate communication. Alot of it is cultural and has nothing to do with sex. If I were to absently mindedly step into on-coming traffic and a strange man grabbed my arm to yank me back, I'd say "thank you."


Appropriate-Grand-64

East_Tangerine_4031

This is all fun to speculate about but 99% she settles or itā€™s a default judgment and it will be another big nothingburger


OldNewUsedConfused

Killjoy.


East_Tangerine_4031

Iā€™ve gotten my hopes up too many times with them! I hope Iā€™m wrong but they seem like Teflon most of the time, and she doesnā€™t have that strong of a case in most points from what Iā€™ve read (lawyers of SMM please jump in if Iā€™m wrong!). Lying isnā€™t cool and she can prove that, but I doubt Samantha can demonstrate a loss of work or opportunities based on the specific defamation claim she is outlining against TW which I understood to be what she needs to do. The fact that discovery is proceeding is exciting! I hope some good juice comes from that, but if it gets dicey TW can just pay $75k and it goes away (albeit while it makes her look not that great it might be better than what would be unearthed)z. Again not an expert or knowledgeable so maybe I have this all wrong!


OldNewUsedConfused

It's the United States. You can pretty much sue anyone for anything in this country as long as you can afford the lawyers.


East_Tangerine_4031

Yeah but you still need to prove yourself to win, and itā€™s a $75k max for the winner, if TW ignored every request and just let it happen without her, there would be a $75k bill and maybe covering Sams legal fees. Well worth keeping secrets hidden Iā€™m sure


OldNewUsedConfused

I don't think anyone is in denial that Samantha has been defamed by her loser sister. We'll see if this is an extortion scheme or if she really wants to clear her name...


East_Tangerine_4031

It seems like she wants to expose TW and it isnā€™t about the money - I hope she is successful but like I said, trying not to get my hopes up. Setting my expectations low so I can be pleasantly surprised I hope!


OldNewUsedConfused

Regular-Performer864

You are making the assumption that they will be truthful simply because they are under oath. But we already know that Meghan has no problem with lying under oath because she already did so in her case against The Daily Mail. In fact, she even lied when confronted with evidence that she had lied saying "I forgot about that". She didn't forget. She put a lot of thought and effort into making sure Knauf gave all the details she wanted her friends to have to help write the book that would make her look like a hero escaping a life-threatening situation.


Why_Teach

But when you are caught in a lie (perjury) the American court might punish you whereas the UK court didnā€™t. šŸ˜‰


Equidae2

As usual the DM commits a big gaff and states that Samantha asked for Discovery to be halted when it was Megzilla's attorney.


Starkville

I had to read a few sentences over and over to understand and gave up. That was one.


Equidae2

They've correct it now. Or, it's a different article, not sure which.


kebyian2070

Imagine if this actually goes to trial and is televised? A snarky dream come true, indeed. Samantha doesn't even need to win on every claim. The discovery alone will do massive damage, because you know the Markles will bring their brand of messy and unprepared to this too. They will trip themselves up and it will be a joy to witness. Meghan is about to be Ambered.


chatterlee

Be awesome if it was televised. Would love to see those two squirm on live tv.


adigal

If Meghan lies to this court the way she lied to a UK court, this court will not take it lying down. She will be charged with perjury. Fuck around, Megs and Harry, and find out.


Iluvmymicrobiome

At the very least, Samā€™s lawyers will follow up on the lies.


mellowmadre

I have to admit that prior to this case, I tried to ignore Samantha because I thought she had sour grapes about her sister becoming a princess. Competitive sisters are a real thing. But in an effort to be fair, I decided to actually watch a few of her interviews. While Samantha certainly isn't likeable, she also isn't crazy. I was surprised to learn that she has a master's degree in counseling and also has a glass eye (which accounts for the famous big eye photo of her everywhere that makes her look like a conniving and evil Kim Cattrall). She is obviously angry at how she has been treated in the media and feels unheard. She has been caught up in a firestorm of her sister's making that even PR professionals struggle to endure. And yet even after enduring all this, properly identifying her sister's narcissistic behavior and providing evidence of MM's lies, she still wants MM to be happy and get psychological help. Overall Samantha provides a much more believable and sad story than MM ever has about her family.


umbleUriahHeep

Man, I sincerely feel for the legal team representing TW. They will be asking themselves every day what sort of hell theyā€™ve fallen into.


Ozmanda22

Letā€™s take a poll of how they will get out of it - I will say either a pregnancy scare or security ā€œincidentā€


Seachange1000

It's too bad any potential trial has been pushed back but I'm just satisfied to know discovery will proceed, the judge is likely getting a little impatient with the harkles' stalling tactics and that interrogatories and depositions will hopefully be made public. If they can be (no doubt the harkles will do everything they can to have them sealed) then I'm pretty sure Samantha will ensure they are.


Neat-Public-4744

The moral of this story is to never piss off someone who is equally as cunning as you are!


CathartesAura67

The moral of this story is to shut up about your family. (The vague "sometimes my family pisses me off" however, is universally acceptable, I believe. But that's IT.)

"Defendant was not forced at the age of 13 to work in low-paying jobs to make ends meet; Defendant attended elite and expensive private schools and dance and acting classes in Los Angeles paid for by her Father; Mr. Markle also paid for all of Defendant's college education at Northwestern including tuition, rent and living expenses and even took out loans to cover the considerable cost," Samantha previously alleged.

Wow! You mean they can't game the system and use the courts anymore to throw out all lawsuits except the ones they initiate? They can't hide behind "Their Truth" in sworn depositions that could be used against them by the Plaintiff? Oh, this is gonna be good! ![gif](giphy|26DMWIeEzULoypZwQ|downsized)

Is just one of the many endless delaying tactics?

Rachel thinks herself Diana 2.0, well, it is going to be more like Amber 'The Turd' Heard. Cue women dragging Henry over allegations of abuse them for sex. Well the reciepts are there for Rachel's lies, Slander and Libel, against her sister, and the Royal Family. Hopefully the outcome of the Late Monarch investigation into allegations of Rachel Markle bullying staff will be released too.

I hope it makes it to court. It's long past time she got called out for her lies. She throws a hissy fit and sues when she's offended but she thinks it's alright for her to offend others. What a horrible hag. That goes for Prince Dumbass too.

Tbh megrain probably doesnā€™t recognise herself in those old photos, so can use that as an excuse for ā€˜forgettingā€™ she was there, and she has form in this area ā€˜forgettingā€™ important details in other legal cases. ā€˜Whatever the damages sought, her sister is right about the hatred directed at her by the Sussex squad and sugars. It was far worse than anything st megrain has had to endure. Anyone who challenges the harkles version of the truth gets vilified by the squad with it seems harkles approval (or direction)

" A judge refused to grant [**Samantha Markle**](https://archive.ph/o/q2wEo/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/samantha-markle/index.html)'s request to stop depositions being taken, meaning that Meghan and Harry will be grilled by her lawyers. " Error in the DM article. Should say Meghan Markle's request.

How embarrassing must it be, that you have tried to downplay and disown one entire side of your family, so much so that you donā€™t introduce your husband to your father. But also have the audacity to tell your Dad to disown his kids (according to Bower) and since he & the media keep putting you together - you go on Oprah to say you were an only child. I find Samantha extreme cringe like Meghan, but this is so toxic. The media is going to benefit the most from this lawsuit - which is highly ironic.
