The Duchess of Sussex has raised his voice again to remind the BBC that she did not lie in court, during the case of Meghan v. Associated Newspaper Group, after the television network claimed in a podcast that Prince Harry’s wife hid from the judge that she had given confidential information to the writers of the Finding Freedom biography.
Meghan Markle filed a complaint with the BBC after they wrongly said he had apologized for misleading the High Court in London. The Duchess of Sussex he asked for clarification that he had actually apologized for “not remembering” that he had asked his former head of public relations for help who will provide information to the journalists who wrote the real biography “Finding Freedom”.
The British press thinks Meghan lied to the court
The complaint came after comments emerged on the “Harry, Meghan and the Media” podcast, which was created as a companion to broadcaster Amol Rajan’s BBC2 documentary “The Princess and the Press”.
During the first legal battle he faced Meghan against the conglomerate Associated Newspaper Group, the Duchess of Sussex claimed that she had not provided confidential or personal information to any media outlet, but was later taken to court again after winning the first lawsuit against the British publisher because it was revealed that she had. leaked details of his intimate life to the press.
Apparently Meghan he didn’t recall email exchanges with his communications secretary, Jason Knauf, in which they discussed tipping off writers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand for their biography.
Amol said on the podcast that: “Initially, Meghan Markle he had said that he had not helped Scobie with the book. He apologized for misleading the court on this.”
But the BBC later issued a statement apologizing and changing its earlier statement. “We state that the Duchess of Sussex has apologized for misleading the court in her case against the Associated Newspaper Group. The Duchess of Sussex has asked us to clarify that she has apologized to the court for not remembering the email.”
Markle assures that she did not lie, she just forgot that she gave information to the press
Meghan he previously pointed out that he did not know if his team had given information to the authors and insisted that he was not contacted to “clarify any material related to the book.”
However, last year, Knauf revealed that Meghan had allowed him to talk to the authors of Finding Freedom. His statement contradicted his previous denials of involvement in High Court depositions.
Knauf, her former communications secretary, confirmed in court that she had an exchange with Meghan shortly before meeting with the writers, in which Markle told her: “By the time you sit down with them, it can be helpful to have some background reminders, so I’ve included them below just in case.”
So the Duchess of Sussex had to apologize to the court for having forgotten that she herself had asked one of her employees to give personal information to journalists.
