For me even if I don't like the person very much (like Corbyn for example) I'll still defend the person if the Media is attacking them beyond what they've said or done, and that will include Meghan in this particular case as her biggest crime is that she's an ego maniac apparently, by the Royal Family standards that's quite tame.

Hi Mock, you have alway been a very fair and nice poster - I like reading your posts.

If don’t read rags but if they blatantly make up stuff about Meghan that isn’t true, surely she would sue? Herself and Harry seem to have no scruples in that regard.
I suppose what the rags do is exaggerate certain things and put a negative spin on it, thats what sells isn’t it, people read it so…..but there will be kernels of truth in there too.
It happens to all prominent public figures - the royal family are particularly good at just ignoring because then it dies a death and its someone else’s turn.

So I really haven’t read anything awful about Meghan beyond what she has actually said and done, just fair assessments by Royal Correspondents and insiders about certain things which have happened which are now known to be accurate. Royal correspondents can’t risk spreading lies or they would no longer get insider info and their job would be gone.

The general consensus between insiders is that Meghan and Harry making a fuss about criticism was deliberate, (not that anyone wants criticism but they used it to their advantage)) - they knew that portraying themselves as victims would give them sympathy and an ‘out’ because they had no intention of staying in the UK - they planned to get to LA early on in their marriage. It was discovered that they were putting things in place way back when and the way they broke the news of their leaving the royal family was sneaky and underhand..
So yes, the media can be cruel, but celebs also need them and use them when it suits....a dysfunctional relationship!

"Surely she would sue..."

Erm... she has. Your research isn't very extensive.

The rags probably don't cover the suits filed against them, tbh.

Isn't that just about her Dad's letter?

Proves that I don't read rags for research, haven't read anything from the RC's about any other lawsuits.

Who owns the letter, the sender or the receiver?

'I know what you are but what am I?' is something that belongs on a playground, Jet, especially when it doesn't fit the context.

I hear a distant rumble and wonder if a storm is coming; but casting my eyes to the horizon, I can see that the skies are clear and blue. Yet the rumble intensifies. My eyes widen. I can feel the vibrations... But they're not in the air, they're under my feet. I quickly drop prone, pressing my ear to the earth - it's dusty, and smells faintly of spilled petroleum. The rumbling continues, I can hear it more clearly now, what sounds like the mechanical, rhythmic drilling of ancient machinery. But what could be down there? What manner of long-forgotten relic? And why now? I spring back to my feet, as though the extra 6' between the sound and my head will offer some protection.

The earth cracks, and begins to split. Just a hair line at first, then widening to a few centimetres. I hold my breath, unsure of what to expect. The cold metal of drills? The untold horror of a claw? No... I see them now. Fingers. Human fingers, emerging from the dust. The rift opens further. A hand. An arm. It seems strange and yet, somehow, so familiar. The second arm appears, and both elbows press into the earth. Rippling biceps flex, a layer of sweat glistening in the sun... A primordial roar deafens me as the earth finally cracks open wide, and he appears. How did we forget? Where had he gone? But the most pressing question - WHY had Jet returned? Had I somehow missed it? Had someone, during my nightly rest, talked about Corbyn?

And then I heard it. The faintest of whisper in my ear. A small, tired voice.

"Not Corbyn, Sir..." came Marsh's whisper. "Someone made a thread about Megan Markle."

I'm honoured TS
Seriously, you should try your hand at writing a book, a thriller, I'm certain it would be a best seller!

Yes it is all about the letter. The letter her friend exposed and her father then gave it to the media in his defense....I believe.

In Jet's words... do your research.

Not difficult to familiarise yourself with something before joining a discussion about it.

Intersting stuff from the first hearing in May:

Meghan Markle suing publisher of Mail on Sunday for printing letter to her father
She claims article in 2019 breached her privacy, copyright and data protection
Associated Newspapers disputes claims and argued parts of case be thrown out
Mr Justice Warby today 'struck out' significant parts of her case ahead of trial
Duchess will give evidence in High Court - with her father Thomas against her


Meghan Markle's defeat at the High Court today has been branded a 'disaster' and a 'humiliation' by leading lawyers after she lost the first round of her legal battle with the Mail on Sunday.

Large parts of her case against Associated Newspapers were dismissed as 'irrelevant', 'inadequate' and 'impermissibly vague’ by a top judge this afternoon including her claims of a malicious media 'agenda' against her.

Mr Justice Warby has also 'struck out' her allegations that journalists had acted dishonestly and had caused the rift between her and her estranged father Thomas by ‘digging up dirt’ to portray Meghan in a 'negative light'.

The Duchess of Sussex, 38, is suing Associated Newspapers over an article which reproduced parts of a handwritten note she sent to Mr Markle, 75, in August 2018, three months after he was unable to walk her down the aisle following a heart attack.
Mark Stephens, a partner at Howard Kennedy, told MailOnline today's ruling was an ‘absolute victory’ for the Mail on Sunday after the judge threw out ‘significant ill-advised parts of her claim’.
He said: ‘For Meghan this judgment is a like a train ploughing into a petrol tanker on a level crossing. It is a complete disaster. She’s been humiliated today. Every complaint by Associated Newspapers has been completely and utterly vindicated by the judge'.
Mr Stephens claimed that senior lawyers in London had pored over Ms Markle's claim and concluded 'there was no chance of her winning', adding she was either 'poorly advised' or disregarded warnings because she wanted her day in court.....

etc....

Oh dear....

Erm... I didn't say you were wrong.

I said.... there is more than one lawsuit. I.e. more than just the one you mentioned.

I mean if you can't understand basic language.

What part of this response is me saying she didn't file a lawsuit about the publishing of her father's letter?

My response was illustrating Meghan has and is pursuing lawsuits (note the plural) against publications for printing lies about her. Quite the opposite to Jet claiming she wasn't.

I do understand....you say there is more than one lawsuit other than the one I mentioned....I’ve asked you to tell me what they are but you seem to have a problem with an answer...

I mean if YOU can’t understand basic language don’t try and put it back on me....I’m still waiting for an answer.
