UK royal Meghan's privacy action against tabloid has first court outing

LONDON - Legal action by Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, against a British tabloid for breaching her privacy had its first court hearing on Friday, with the newspaper’s lawyer attempting to have claims that it had acted dishonestly struck out.

Lawyers for the duchess say the letter’s publication was a misuse of private information and breached her copyright. They are seeking aggravated damages from the paper. Antony White, the lawyer representing the Mail, sought at a pre-trial hearing on Friday to have allegations the paper had acted dishonestly and had stoked the rift removed from the case, along with references to other articles about the royal which she says were false.

The case centres on articles published in February 2019 about the rift between Meghan and her father, who fell out after her pomp-laden wedding to Harry in May the year before. At the hearing, White rejected the allegation the tabloid had acted dishonestly or maliciously by publishing extracts of the letter she sent her father in August 2018 and said it should be dismissed as irrelevant.

You go for it Duchess Meghan, they have treated you abominably.

Who ?

Tabloid are absolutely silly, they directly or indirectly made them take drastic measures by resigning from their royal duties and now they still behind them are well. It's really absurd, leave them alone please

New drama every time

Is Harry’s 1st wife suing for enough to support their independence?

The British seem to accept a cheating husband, pedophile Prince, prince with Mistresses, but they have a problem with an American divorce millionaire philanthropic actress marrying their Prince, who closes her car door and is willing to stand up for herself. Isn't that funny🤣

I pray she wins the case, it is the height of unprofessionalism for the UK media to continue to fabricate stories, knowingly lie, just to sell papers? What do they think will happen? That they will just continue to lie and nothing will happen?

I don’t care do you?

Not today. Its ANZAC day. We have more important things to think about.

Who is she ?

Nasty woman social climbing Love fame and only tabloids that follow her orders

The press need to respect people's privacy, every one has a right to privacy

I'd enjoy the descent to hell of narcissistMeghan if she wasn't dragging with her poor unsmart-but-noble Harry. Very sad.

you mean the Douches of Sussex?

Blah blah blah

Ever since she has joined the royal family, we hear such scandals every single day and I'm really bored tbh.

Can we stop this news please. These guys are of least important now and forever and no one gives a damn! Tweet some real journalism stuff...

We Don't Care. The End.
