Meghan Markle wants to settle her lawsuit against the tabloids without going to trial. Yep, Meghan asked the court to resolve her lawsuit against the tabloids without going to trial, according to the Duchess of Sussex’s lawyer, the outlet has “no chance” of winning the case.
According Huffpost, the Duchess of Sussex’s lawyers asked a British judge on Tuesday to resolve her lawsuit against a newspaper before going to trial, ruling that the publication of a “deeply personal” letter to her father was “a violation of his right of privacy ”. You know, Meghan and Harry want privacy at all costs.
As you may recall, Meghan Markle sued Associated Newspaper for invasion of privacy and copyright infringement in February 2019, for five articles published in the “Mail on Sunday” media and on the “Mailonline” website, parts of which were published from a letter she wrote to her father, Thomas Markle, before marrying Prince Harry in 2018. You know, the famous letter.
Associates Newspaper is fighting the indictment, and the trial is set for the autumn in London’s High Court.
Markle seeks a summary judgment that decides in his favor and dismisses the newspaper’s defense case. His attorney Justin Rushbrooke argued that the publisher has “no real prospect” of winning the case.
The lawyer says Meghan had high hopes that a “heartfelt plea from a distraught daughter to her father” would remain private.
Attorneys for the Duchess of Sussex say her father Thomas Markle, a retired tv director of photography, caused Meghan and Harry anguish ahead of their wedding in May 2018, giving the media interviews and posing in photos in preparation for the wedding. Taken by a paparazzi agency. In the end he did not go to the wedding because he suffered a heart attack.
Rushbrooke said the letter Meghan sent to her father in August 2018 was “a message of peace” aimed at getting him to “stop talking to the press.”
He said the Duchess made sure the five-page letter was not intercepted, sending it by FedEx through an accountant to her father’s home in Mexico. The letter implored Thomas Markle to stop speaking to the media, saying, “Your actions have broken my heart into a million pieces.”
The last sentences, read in court, were: “I ask for nothing but peace. And I wish the same for you. “
For their part, lawyers for Associated Newspapers argue that Meghan knew that letter would be published sometime. They also said that she made personal information public by cooperating with the authors of the book “Finding Freedom” that talks about her and Harry, to present a version of events that “makes her look good and is favorable to her.”
Meghan denies having collaborated with the authors – although she acknowledged that she allowed someone close to her to speak to them – and the book is expected to be prominently displayed at trial.
Meghan’s attorney said the fact that she is a public figure “does not lower her expectations of privacy in relation to information of this kind.” “The sadness of a family relationship … is not a matter of public concern.”
QUE? In what world does this lawyer live? LOL!
The defense will respond this Wednesday.
In October, the trial was postponed at the request of Meghan Markle, the trial was supposed to start this month, until October or November 2021. The reasons remain secret.
A year ago, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry gave up royalty, their royal duties and responsibilities, and moved to North America, citing that the British press meddled in their affairs, disrespected their privacy, and had racist attitudes. They recently bought a mansion in Santa Barbara, California, and have made multi-million dollar deals with various streaming platforms.
So, Meghan Markle asked the court to resolve her lawsuit against the media without going to trial, which finds that it is a serious intrusion on her privacy. She wants PRIVACY, ok? Also, according to their lawyer, they have no real chance of winning the case.
