A US court has dismissed a defamation case brought against the Duchess of Sussex by her half-sister.
Samantha Markle had taken legal action against Meghan Markle over comments she made to Oprah Winfrey and on her Netflix show, Harry And Meghan.
However, she will not be able to refile the case, after Florida judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell dismissed it with prejudice.

Meghan’s lawyer Michael J Kump, said: “We are pleased with the court’s ruling dismissing the case.”
