Meghan Markle’s legal battle could be an unwanted distraction to the King’s upcoming coronation, according to the Queen’s press secretary Dickie Arbiter, via Daily Mail.
Arbiter was the Queen’s press secretary between 1988 and 2000 and also press secretary for King Charles III.
He called the legal battle “a bit of a minefield” of Email More talk show, Palace Confidentialand said it had the potential to “knock the Coronation news sideways.”
The Duchess of Sussex is currently in a legal battle with her sister Samantha Markle, who has accused Meghan of defaming her to “cover up” her “lie-to-riches” narrative.
“It’s a bit of a walk through a minefield that’s only half cleared and we really have to wait and see what the judge has to say,” he explained.
According to the outlet, Samantha, 58, appeared with her lawyer in virtual court on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, for the defamation case.
Her lawyer accused Meghan of being “caught” and therefore turning to the public to “put her brother down” as she threatened to expose him.
Markle’s lawyers called the claims “inappropriate” and “offensive” and asked the case to be dismissed due to “fatal flaws.”
