Newspapers always get sued its part and parcel of what they do and it helps them sell papers

win or lose they got the sales from the article



they could not give a tuppenny damn and never have

I know that....I was just passing comment

That's what I applaud what you've said in your last line too.

What stuns me is people actually buy these trashy publications.
No way would I insult the English language by terming them news.....papers.
People spend hundreds of pounds EACH at least every year just to buy these gutter trash publications.

So I applaud her taking them on and now winning too.

As for any sour grapes as to her action, well that's all it is
She has come out the one seemed more right and on top.
So I congratulate her.

I've no great feelings either way on Meghan Markle or Prince Harry.
I've always just wished them well.
I don't know them, and never will, just as none possibly do on here either.

She has been shown to be right in her action so again I say.
Good luck to her and to Prince Harry too.

As for this garbage paper..
Well honestly, I'd send just about all of them the same way as the News of the World was forced to go.
SCRAPPED.

So happy for her

Good for her, may those with irrational hatred towards her remain bitter and seething.

As she should have. Good for her.

Her dad a victim after everything he's done !?? :rolleyes:
That's so funny I forgot to laugh.

What he's done was dote on her, spoil her, brought her up mostly single - handedly, worked his butt off to send her to all the top schools in LA and support her right through university. In her blog ‘the tig’ she was always saying what a wonderful and inspirational father he was - until she met Harry.
She refused palace advice to bring Harry to meet him. Why? She outright refused to let them advise him and get him looked after when the paps were pestering him night and day, camped outside his door and following him everywhere. He stupidly resorted to letting them take some staged pics so they would leave him alone.

It’s very sad that many young people today seemingly can see nothing wrong in cutting off a parent completely and depriving them of their grand child for a wrongdoing that they contributed to in the first place. Meghan drones on about compassion, yet has none whatsoever for her aging and ill father - and no forgiveness either….and she’s admired and defended for that. :sad:

..it’s almost as if you know more of her personal life than she does

Her father was maybe wrong in the way he handled things....but Meghan does drone on about compassion and love and understanding towards others be it racial or otherwise...but her actions towards her own just family just doesn’t equate. How are people supposed to support her righteousness when she doesn’t do it herself. Practice what you preach...

Her earlier life is well documented, and the Palace aids pleading with her to let them help her father when the engagement broke and her stubborn refusal has been referred to in several books, including pro - Meghan publications. If you have read anything to the contrary, feel free to post it.
....and she hasn't sued, and herself and Harry love a good old sue....

Humming along to Old McDonald...

"With a lawsuit here, a lawsuit there, here I sue, there I sue, everywhere I sue sue". :hehe:

:laugh:

No change there then :joker:

He didn’t seem to handle it well...but considering Meghan spewed on about the lack of support and guidance she got ...what guidance and support did he get...NONE.

Good on her. Everyone deserves a right to their privacy if thats what they want no matter who they are or how you feel about them

...absolutely and that’s the main point...regardless of how anyone feels about Meghan or any celebrity, this win is something that should be celebrated because the Tabloid media have such disregard for privacy on any level...their only aim is to sensationalise, however harmful that is...Meghan’s victory with this is a victory against their shabbiness and something which should be celebrated widely and I’m glad that she uses her voice in these things...

Yes, everyone deserves privacy, but Meghan didn’t care about her privacy when People magazine quoted her friends revealing those parts of the letter to her father that put her in a good light and her father bad. Did she sue them? Nope.
It’s fine for her fathers privacy to be breached but not Meghan's when he tries to defend himself. He doesn't have the means of having a 'voice' in the way she does.

It’s fine for her non - celebrity elderly fathers privacy to be breached when paps are camping on his doorstep and stalking him and Meghan refuses to let him be aided in any way.
Everyone deserves privacy ‘no matter who they are or how you feel about them’ but all that matters in this case is Meghan’s privacy. Okay.

I’m just so happy that justice has been served and Meghan can move on from this nightmare.

Lovely Meghan <3

This threads about Meghans case against the media, not her dad, not her friends, her. So yes in this discussion her privacy is really all that matters.

Posting yes everyone deserves privacy 'but'.... is just pettiness due to who she is.

Are you saying that everyone should strictly adhere to what a thread is about and never expand the discussion to include related elements?
You yourself said ‘everyone deserves privacy no matter who they are or what you feel about them’ - and I agreed in principle and expanded on your comment by referring to her father who after all was the recipient of the letter.
IMO your response is just the avoidance of responding with your own opinion to the content of the post.

"not her dad"


Be fair Josy,
He is the Bugger that caused all this.

Just read that the Telegraph has now printed the letter in full. :amazed:

How Nice

Umm no I'm not saying threads should never expand into other discussion at all my point was that yes you agreed in principle that everyone is entitled to privacy but of course because the person being discussed is Meghan you couldn't leave it at that...

I posted my own opinion in my very first comment, it related directly to the case... my main point being that regardless of what anyone thinks of Meghan or her father or anyone else it doesnt really change the fact that everyone is entitled to privacy if they wish to have it so it's a great thing that she won against these papers and hopefully sets a precedent for how they treat people in future, how anyone could disagree with that or even through in 'yeah buts' to try spin it to a negative is baffling tbh and just comes across as being due to who it is about

Her father gave up his rights to privacy when he sold the letter. Whether he felt his hand had been forced by previous interviews, that is irrelevant. In this court case it is about Meghans privacy which was invaded by this article. If he were upset about previous interviews that was his time to take legal action. In this case his privacy is not in question as he chose to lay it out there.

Quote the post in context Arista then it may make more sense to you.

So you dont believe everyone deserves or is entitled to privacy at all then..which contradicts your earlier comments. Hmmm okay.

I stated something I had read with a shocked emoticon and you get that from it? Wth?

Ok apologies it shows up on my tapatalk as an amazed emoticon.

I think you used the wrong one tbf this is :shocked: :laugh:

I don’t know how that could have happened, the full letter being published that is

I agree that everyone is entitled to privacy and I pointed out that her father was also. No 'spin', just my opinion...and yes, its no secret that I dislike her a lot and I have no particular liking for her father either. I just can't stand unfairness and hypocrisy.
As for setting a precedent for how the tabloids treat people in future, its all been done before numerous times (by members of the royals before her as well) and it has made no difference. :shrug:
In the case of private letters I totally agree they should remain private for both the writer and the recipient and the win was correct.

It is the amazed one :laugh:

It makes full sense to me.

My mistake, I used the wrong one, it looked 'shocked' to me. :hehe:
I don't see how you would have gotten what you did from my post even with an 'amazed' emote though - as in "I'm amazed how they would have the audacity to print the letter". :huh:

I think it's because that emoji usually is posted when you're happily amazed, like it's great news If you know what I mean? Like - Josy is pregnant :amazed:

Pleased for her.
As to her relationship with her father, it’s up to her and I certainly wouldn’t want him in my life.

I agree that private should stay private.

I don't understand what hypocrisy there is though. Meghan feels her privacy has been invaded by her father releasing the letter and that is what has been the crux of this case. Her issue is with the publication in this case, not her father. If he had an issue with previous interviews, that was for him to then take similar action against that publication. It is not Meghan taking on her father in this case. She has taken exception at this publication, as is her right. She has taken legal action which has ruled in her favour in the points of law therefore no hypocrisy or unfairness.

Had she sued her father, I would understand your view more but in this case I don't see what the problem is.

Oh, I would use it differently...
Josy is pregnant?? Lovely news, Congrats Josy! :dance:

Yes :amazed:


:p
