After the allegations of dishonesty and bad intentions of the journalists are no longer permissible, the main question now should be whether the content of the published letter was of public interest.

Duchess Meghan (38) partially failed with her lawsuit against the publisher of the British tabloid “Mail on Sunday”. This comes from the ruling on a preliminary hearing of the London High Court, which was released on Friday. The publisher had requested that part of the allegations not be admitted to the main proceedings. The judge now accepted this request.

The reason for the lawsuit was the partial publication of a handwritten letter that Meghan had sent to her father, Thomas Markle. She’s been in a clinch with him since she married Prince Harry (35) two years ago. The 75-year-old had passed the letter on to the “Mail on Sunday”. Meghan sees her personal rights violated by the publication.

Richter rejected allegations
She also accused the journalists of dishonesty and bad intentions. The lawyer argued that the argument with her father had only been sparked by the press. The reporting is part of a broader “agenda” against Meghan. The judge did not allow these allegations. According to the reasoning, they were either not relevant to the essence of the procedure, too general or not properly presented.

When the main procedure should begin was initially unclear. The main question now is whether the content of the published letter was of public interest or not. It’s a big setback for Meghan and Harry.

Benefits from negotiation questionable
The couple recently said goodbye to the royal family and reportedly now lives in the US metropolis of Los Angeles. The two hope to be able to better protect themselves from reporting on their private lives in the future. But whether they will achieve this goal with the process is questionable. A lot of private information – such as text messages – has already been made public through court documents. Meghan’s father has announced that he will testify in favor of the newspaper if necessary.
