Kerry Katona blasts Meghan Markle’s half-sister over ‘embarrassing’ defamation case

2023-02-21

Kerry Katona has branded Samantha Markle's defamation case against Meghan Markle as "embarrassing" and says she needs to "leave the past behind her".

Meghan's half-sister Samantha, 58, appeared in a virtual court hearing,and Kerry, 42, shared her thoughts over the case in her column.

"It’s reported that the royal family are expecting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to attend King Charles’ Coronation in May," she says. "I hope they do, as they have every right to be there."

She continued: "As you know, I’m a huge supporter of Harry and Meghan and I think critics need to leave them alone.

"As for Meghan’s half-sister, Samantha Markle, she needs to shut up and leave the past behind."

Kerry added: "When I came into the public eye, all sorts of people came out of the woodwork, so I sympathise with Meghan.

"It’s embarrassing that she’s bringing a defamation case against her. Meghan must be mortified."

Samantha accused Prince Harry, 38, of not being able to “think like an adult” and described him as a “loose cannon” following the release of his book Spare.

In an interview with GB News, she also said: "I think he [Harry] is lacking in empathy, remorse, and shame.

"He is showing a clear disconnect with reality and is so emotionally underdeveloped that he can’t move on from this stage where he has resentment over a whole host of issues.”

While Kerry hopes Meghan, 41, and Harry will be appearing at the Coronation, the couple still haven't decided whether they will be there on the day, according to reports.

A source told The Mirror: "Harry has been very clear and his position hasn’t wavered – he isn’t going to come if he feels the atmosphere will be as toxic as it was during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and funeral.

“He’s said he wants to reconcile with his family and it’s their call, but so far nothing has changed.”

Harry allegedly wants a summit with his father King Charles and brother Prince William, 40, ahead of flying to the UK from his family home in California.

It's believed that if Harry and Meghan do decide to attend the ceremony, they will not be invited to appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

A source previously told the Daily Express: "They’re on the list and planning is well underway to make sure the proceedings run as smooth as possible – without any drama."

The coronation is set to take place on May 6, the same day as Harry and Meghan’s son Archie’s birthday.
