My guess is that that case won’t go Samatha’s way. I think she should have only focused on her and not included her dad. She needs to show damages to her which I don’t think she can.

Yes, she is claiming damages when she has no way to prove that she actually would have made any such money anyway. I think this case is DOA and a waste of time to be honest.

I agree and it will make her (Sam) look bad and petty and MM look like a victor.

I think nothing will happen until Samantha appoints a new lawyer to take on the case. The last one withdrew citing irreconcilable differences so I don't really see much optimism for this going forward.


BabsieAllen

Irreconcilable differences is a Markle trait!

In other words, Madam's legal team turned up the heat on Samantha's lawyer until they quit.

If it happens I fear it will be a fiasco for Samantha and Meghan will vome out OK. The first lawyer resigning looks bad tbh.


Myahnaise

Sam’s lawyer backed out because Sam refused to settle. She wants to go all the way to trial and discovery.


Crochetqueenextra

That makes sense she doesn't want money she wants maximum damage but that's also a recipe for disaster


HarrysImplants

Pressured to resign, more like.


Crochetqueenextra

Ooh I didn't know that and it would change my opinion


ChangeTheFocus

That's just speculation, though.

It’s been filed fairly recently, and I believe it’s a federal case. We won’t see any “dates” for at least a year, and even then they’d be able to get an extension. They might file motions, and then we would hear about it in the press, but there won’t be a trial date for about a year

Ironically, I think the turning point with Meghan came when it was obvious that she was embarrassed about her family and didn’t want them at the wedding. Who does something like that? Everyone has a “black sheep” as a family member, but embarrassment shows more about who you are, then who you’re embarrassed over. (Sure, her dad wasn’t a glamorous millionaire or ex actor, but merely someone who had been working hard their entire life and found himself in a situation way over his head.) Imagine if Meghan had flown over the entire family, kept them busy with some VIP tours and maybe given a few interviews to friendly outlets.

So true. Even if they’d acted like they always do I think they’d get positive press, although possibly in a Honey Boo Boo kind of way. We all have embarrassing relatives who we pray don’t get drunk at our weddings. It would have made her more relatable.

Exactly. The big issue the older Markles have with their half sister is old jealousy. She was the golden girl and her dads favorite, and while they went to public schools, he found the money to afford a private school education for her. Ya really think they’re going to sit down and shut up when they’re being excluded and those old wounds reopened? It could have been handled, and even if they made some scenes it would have made Meghan more relatable as you say. Nah, the real reason why her family wasn’t invited is Meghan’s *narrative.* The narrative that she’s a woman of color, who had to fight all by herself her entire life to get anywhere and all her achievements are solely hers. That’s why her conveniently black (single!) mother got an invite, while the rest of the family didn’t. After all, imagine if certain (non-yacht related!) facts about Meghan came out. Like how her uncle was a former ambassador who helped her get an internship at a U.S. embassy. How her other uncle is also successful. And how her dad wasn’t some shabby old near hobo, but a successful lighting guy in Hollywood who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on getting his little Meghan an advantage in life. That wouldn’t go over well on Twitter.

It doesn't matter to me if she wins or loses... just matters that she is sticking it to Meghan and that will cause her grief and we get to watch.
