Samantha Markle‘s Twitter suspended after she was accused of harassing Meghan Markle

Meghan Markle’s lawyers are “monitoring” Thomas Markle’s public statements after he slammed the Sussexes again, while her sister Samantha was banned from a major social network.

Meghan Markle’s sister has had her Twitter account suspended on Monday for allegedly trying to evade a pervious ban the social media platform issued in 2019.

Samantha Markle, 57, had her second Twitter account, @TheMarkleSammy, banned from the platform three years after her first account, @sammy-markle, was suspended.

The latest account ban came after BuzzFeed News‘ Ellie Hall reported that Samantha appeared to have been using it to share criticisms and lies about Meghan for years, including that Meghan did not actually give birth to her children.

Samantha‘s lawyer, Douglas Kahle, denied the allegations and claimed the Twitter account was hacked and that the tweets published by Buzzfeed were “photoshopped”.

“Ms. Markle’s email and other accounts have been hacked on several occasions and it is very likely that those statements were made by third parties to defame our client,” Mr Kahle told BuzzFeed.

“Due to the urgency of this matter, we are still investigating.”

Samantha has been one of Meghan’s loudest critics since her relationship with Prince Harry became public knowledge.

And according to screenshots published by BuzzFeed, the account had falsely suggested Meghan faked her pregnancies and used a surrogate; that Harry is not the biological father of his children; that Meghan faked her 2020 miscarriage; and that Archie and Lilibet aren‘t even real.

There is no evidence for any of these claims.

MEGHAN’S ‘DISDAIN’ FOR DAD AFTER TESTIFY THREAT

Meghan Markle’s lawyers “will be monitoring” her father Thomas’ new YouTube channel after he slammed his daughter and “her ginger husband” Prince Harry on his new YouTube channel.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams suggested the Sussexes will view Mr Markle’s latest move with “disdain”.

But, according to a report in The Sun, they will also keep be aware of his activity and monitor what he says publicly.

“Meghan’s family have been extremely hostile to her and Remarkable Friendship, the name of this new channel, sounds extremely amateurish, but the Sussexes’ lawyers will no doubt keep an eye on its contents,” royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams reportedly told the MailOnline.

Future episodes seem unlikely to attract any interest at all, unless they feature personal attacks on Meghan.”

It comes as the Queen continued with virtual audiences at Windsor Castle on Tuesday local time, despite concerns for her health.

On Monday, Thomas Markle launched a scathing burn on his “ginger” son-in-law Prince Harry and promised to testify against daughter Meghan in a defamation lawsuit.

Mr Markle unleashed on his estranged daughter as a “liar”, and vowed to face the Duchess in court, during the explosive launch of his new YouTube channel.

Mr Markle revealed his older daughter, Samantha, is suing sister Meghan for defamation over claims made during the infamous Oprah Winfrey interview and her biography “full of lies”, Finding Freedom.

Mr Markle said he would be “more than happy” to be deposed in the defamation suit filed by Samantha Markle and testify if the civil case goes to trial.

“I’ve been trying for almost four years to get to see my daughter, and her ginger husband, in a courtroom, face-to-face,” he added.

“I haven’t seen them face-to-face, and I haven’t seen my grandchildren. So I’d be thrilled to come to court and defend my oldest daughter.”

Samantha Markle is her sister for $75,000 ($AU103,000)”false and malicious lies” in both the Oprah interview and the Finding Freedom biography that subjected her to “humiliation, shame and hatred on a worldwide scale”.

Among Meghan’s alleged lies are that she grew up in “virtual poverty” when her father had funded her dance and acting classes and “elite private schools”, according to court documents.

Mr Markle said that his daughter should probably settle the lawsuit because “she can’t defend the things she said” in the “book full of lies”.

Mr Markle saved specific ire for Harry for telling him not to talk to media, while seemingly never stopping talking to media himself.

“Amazingly the man who tells me don’t talk to anyone, rides on the top of a bus down Hollywood Boulevard doing an interview,” he said, referencing the Duke’s skit with James Cordon.

“It amazes me that they go on Oprah Winfrey for hours and sit there and talk and expose things they shouldn’t be exposing to anyone.

“I think it’s so disrespectful to the royals, I’m basically what you’d call on the Queen team, and I have great respect for all the royals.”

The YouTube channel Remarkable Friendship, with 3,800 subscribers, is co-hosted by Mr Markle’s friend and photographer Karl Larsen.

The first 15-minute episode replayed Mr Markle’s grievances against the Sussexes, including his continued resentment of not being asked by Prince Harry in person to bless the marriage with his daughter.

“He did over the phone, I thought that the royals had some kind of sense of dignity where he would have taken the time to fly down to see me,” he said.
