Thomas Markle willingly gave the letter to the newspaper but the court will decide whether the masthead had a legal right to publish it.
"Then the question is not whether the information that was published was in public interest, it's whether it was in the public interest that her privacy was breached. I'd be surprised if the court found it was."My view is you should be able to write to your mum or dad without it ending up in the newspaper - even if you're a politician or member of the royal family.
"The editors will know that this case is going to attract world attention and that it will be good copy for them," he says. "It may be commercially worth it to them to spend £1 million fighting a case they lose, if they can make some inroads and land some punches."Professor Chris Frost, the chair of the National Union of Journalists' ethics council, agreeswants to get the Duchess and her aggrieved father in the witness stand and engineer its own royal news event.
"Sure, the royal family is in a situation where they are taking public money, they are part of the establishment and therefore there may be public interest reasons to publish letters – and there certainly have been in the past – but this was a personal letter from the Duchess to her father and I am yet to be convinced personally that there is any public interest reason for it to be published.
Many other countries - including Australia - do not have a tort for serious invasions of privacy. The stronger protections in Europe have been put to use before by the royal family: Prince William and his wife Catherine were awarded €100,000 in damages in 2017 after paparazzi photographed the Duchess of Cambridge sunbaking topless in France.
Majority of the ppl died in US are black.. perhaps Meghan can do something rather than talk about femininity
Who is ‘everyone else’? There are many of us who don’t care enough
Young Meghan loves a camera.
Please put a cork in that whine.
Is real name is Henry but everyone calls him Harry. It’s like a person with a name Richard who is nicknamed Dick
He is not Prince Harry anymore, it’s Harry Duke of Sussex. Get it right or don’t report it
don't you mean Harry and Meghan
That people care about the royal family.. Why? just why?
Horrible people!
It will all bite them on the arse not that they can see it. The pettier it gets, the more people will turn on them. Sadly, you reap what you sow and some will just not learn.
Correction. It’s just Harry now.
All 4 of those papers are renowned for making things up and cruel speculation. Harry and Meghan will still be available for other press
And just keep on trashing them and prove why they're suing the tabloids. 'Get even with?' Really. It's libel they're suing over, as well as a host of other things, and you make it sound like a snit. You're as bad as the Daily Fail.
Who cares, I don't.
With all the mean-spirited gossip and bullshit being printed by trashy tabloids such as yours, it seems they are merely waging self-defence.
Meghan is strong and a survivor, I hope she gets into American politics.
Thought she is not the Duchess anymore?
She thinks she is very clever, the woman who left the security of the RF, the woman who left clean air Canada for LA during a deadly virus (with a baby), this woman who is about to take on the media in court & now writing a 'tell all' book. Not very clever, quite the opposite.
Harry ignored too many obvious pre marriage red flags, let toxic femininity in and now it eats away at everything in his world like the cancer it is. Harry will pay a very heavy price. Vet properly men, the new breed are encouraged and facilitated in stripping you bare.
Why don't you write about Invictus games ... veterans won't be participating this year though in future years perhaps. It's a positive initiative by Capt Henry Saxe Coburg Gotha (Harry Windsor).
Free Press does not mean make millions of dollars off gossip columns.
They're no longer a duke nor duchess, don't use such terms. It's a couple of ordinary people attempting to stay relevant when they're not.
Who cares Gas lighting
