[The identities of five friends of the Duchess of Sussex
who gave an anonymous interview to a USA magazine
will not be revealed, the High Court has ruled.
Judge Mark Warby said the friends' identities
should be protected "for the time being at least",
after the duchess put in a legal bid to
ensure their names were not revealed.]



Lucky her.

Meghan Markle compromised privacy of five friends in legal document, court hears
Duchess 'freely' and 'without being compelled' disclosed identities of friends whose privacy she now fears will be breached

The Duchess of Sussex was accused of compromising the privacy of her own friends by supplying their names in a legal document that she wants to remain secret, the High Court heard on Wednesday.
The duchess "freely" and "without being compelled" disclosed the identities of five friends whose privacy she now fears will be breached.
Meghan gave the names in a confidential document to Associated Newspapers, the publisher of The Mail on Sunday, who she is suing for breach of privacy and copyright over its publication of a handwritten letter to her father, Thomas Markle……..

……….It also emerged that only one of the friends – Friend B, an American citizen who says she approached People magazine of her own accord – has given a witness statement. A barrister for the newspaper group said the statement "has been shown to be unsatisfactory", but did not go into any further detail.
It was disclosed that the duchess agreed to pay in full Ł67,888 in costs to Associated Newspapers after the publisher successfully argued that elements of her case be struck out. The costs are just a fraction of a multi-million legal bill expected should the case go to a full trial next year.

Good, I'm glad she's protected her friends from media intrusion.

It’s the least she could do since she told them to talk to the papers.

It was nice of them to defend her, it's odd the lengths the mail will go to to 'expose' people.

The Telegraph isn't any better Kizzy.

They're protected,( albeit only for the time being however).

A good decision in my view which I hope stays in place.

Her very best role is that of playing the poor victim; I've just learned that her diehard fans are called 'the Sugars'. Yuck!
She deserves credit for convincing them of her victimisation....

A film made of her life, but based on star wars? When you have to try that hard to squeeze in insults it's time to log off.
