Thomas Markle 'thrilled' to head to court as he takes Samantha side in Meghan lawsuit

Mr Markle's eldest daughter Samantha Markle, the Duchess of Sussex half-sister is reportedly taking her to court. Samantha's tell-all book makes many claims, one being that the Duchess of Sussex lied during her controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey last year. Mr Markle said he would be happy to go to court as he has wanted to see them in person for years in the first episode of Remarkable Friendship, a YouTube channel he shares with friend Karl Larsen in Rosarito, Mexico.

During last year's highly anticipated Oprah interview, which saw the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sit down and speak about their move to the States and them distancing themselves from the Royal family and were also asked about the tell-all book by Samantha Markle.

The Duchess responded: "I think it would be very hard to tell all when you don't know me.

"This is a very different situation than my dad, when I talked about betrayal, betrayal comes from someone you have a relationship with.

"I don't feel comfortable speaking about people I really don't know but I grew up as an only child, which everyone who grew up around me knows, and I wished I had siblings, I would have loved to have siblings, that's why I am so excited to be pregnant so Archie will have someone.

'It was really interesting. the last time I saw her must have been at least 18, 19 years ago and before that, 10 years before that."
