Meghan Markle’s Lawyers Lean on First Amendment Harry Said Was ‘Bonkers’
Lawyers acting for Meghan Markle asked a Florida judge on Wednesday to throw out the defamation lawsuit filed by her half-sister Samantha Markle. They said her rights to “criticize” or “voice opinions” were “fundamental rights granted by the First Amendment.”
The case has been brought over comments made in the royal’s TV interview with Oprah Winfrey and information supplied to the authors of the biography Finding Freedom.
The freedom-of-speech argument has been made despite Meghan’s husband, Prince Harry, previously coming under fire for describing the First Amendment as “bonkers.”
