Meghan’s lawyer has said that Samantha’s legal team has “identified 19 non-party witnesses, including Prince Harry, Meghan’s mother and Oprah Winfrey” whom she wants to depose.

Finding Freedom is a biography about Meghan and Harry’s lives together from courting to marriage.
It also depicts their eventual departure from the British royal family as working royals.
Finding Freedom came out in 2020 and is a book written by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand.
Samantha is Meghan’s half-sister, whom the Duchess has lost touch with in recent years.
