Meghan faces cameras for legal grilling

Duchess's sister says royal ruined her reputation

- PATRICK HILL

THE estranged sister of Meghan Markle wants a judge to order her royal sibling to undergo a legal grilling – recorded on video.

Former actress Meghan, who played paralegal Rachel Zane in TV drama Suits before she married Prince Harry, could be questioned for up to seven hours while the cameras roll.

The move – for what is called a deposition in the US – is the latest twist in a bitter legal row between the Duchess of Sussex and her sister, Samantha.

It comes days after Meghan’s lawyers filed a court bid to dismiss a defamation case brought by her sibling.

Samantha wants £60,000 in damages. She says her reputation was wrecked by comments Meghan made about her childhood during a TV interview with Oprah Winfrey, and by claims in a book called Finding Freedom, written by friends of the Duchess.
