Associated Newspapers is challenging a court ruling that said it broke the law by printing parts of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's letter to Thomas Markle.
"The letter was crafted specifically with the potential of public consumption in mind because the claimant appreciated Mr Markle might disclose it to the media."Mr Caldecott added that Meghan"made no effort to correct" an article in People magazine in the US, which featured an interview with five friends of the Duchess of Sussex, adding that Mr Markle had"considered the article to be a serious attack on him".
He said:"The claimant's letter and the People article both make allegations against Mr Markle of cruelly cold-shouldering the claimant in the pre-wedding period... The article, or its gist, was reported worldwide." Meghan's legal team are opposing the appeal and argue that the judge reached the right conclusions on the evidence before him.
He said:"It was, in short, a personal and private letter. The majority of what was published was about the claimant's own behaviour, her feelings of anguish about her father's behaviour, as she saw it, and the resulting rift between them.
