According to the London High Court, Meghan “he had reasonable expectations that the letter would remain private“. So the newspapers are guilty. And the Duchess of Sussex, in a statement, expressed her satisfaction. After thanking the principe Harry and mom Doria Ragland for their support, the duchess said “Grateful” to the court for forcing the tabloids to account for their illegal and dehumanizing practices ”.

Last January tabloid lawyers they had submitted documents to the High Court claiming that Meghan – who does not hear dad Thomas Markle from 2018, before the royal wedding with the prince Harryinstead he wrote the offending letter precisely to be disclosed. That letter was meant to clean up her image, to free her from the fame of “Cold, indifferent daughter”.

The judge did not believe this version. Meghan’s letter was “clearly private and on personal matters “concerning” his behavior, his own feelings for the behavior of the father and the resulting quarrel between them ». The reasons in favor of Meghan they are so strong, concluded the magistrate, that it is not even necessary to set up a process. The next hearing, in March, will probably have to decide only the amount of damages.
