Meghan Markle taking Mail On Sunday to Court *MNHQ tweaked title for accuracy*

[TheMustressMhor]

And about time, too. They never stop castigating her.

Prince Harry has said that he's worried that she'll end up being the same kind of victim that his mother was with regard to the Press.

I hope she wins her case.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Unfortunately she courts publicity but doesn't like the fact that she can't control it.

Surely their argument would be with her Dad who leaked the letter to the newspaper.

If I were him I'd move to the US. He can fund his own lifestyle there them.

IT was a letter? how should that be made public?

Yes absolutely the copyright belongs to the author of a work.. You are sometime allowed to reproduce extracts from published work (book, website, newspaper) within limits. You need permission for something that has not been published eg. a private letter.

I think good on them for taking a stance -as to the comment about their Champagne lifestyle, well, I'd push the boat out a bit too if I had their millions and I am the queen of tight-arsedness.

Take away the royalty and the privilege, and then look at the situation.
The answers on here would be very different.

I can't believe people are defending the gutter press and paparazzi. What is wrong with you??

Good for her. One of the best things that could happen for Britain collectively would be that the Daily Mail would be shut down.

Take away the royalty and the privilege, and then look at the situation

But no tabloid would give a rats arse about any letter then, would they?

Of course you can't publish private letters without permission. Anyone who read it is complicit also to be honest. No need, of no interest to anyone unless you are a bored gossip.

I can’t stand the Sunday Mail and the other trash newspaper. They are vile and most of their reporters are vile.

However, I’ve no time at all for the Royal Family. They all need to step down and resign. I don’t understand why people are such fans of them. They are nothing special, they just happen to have been born into the right family or married into it. I don’t like being lectured and patronized about people who are so ridiculously privileged.

I don’t think They deserve to be hounded by the press but I do wish they would be quiet and go away.

I don’t know who the royals press advisors are but they aren’t very good. I could do a better job.

This has nothing to do with their royal privilege. If you don't agree with the royal family then just ignore them, its easy to do. Passively aggressively destroying someone's life because they have more money than you is not kind.

Yanbu, I seem to remember that there were loads of negative press about Kate before they were married but the tone changed after the ceremony. The same hasn't happened to Meghan. It's nasty.

It's not quite that simple Trewser - people who are republicans object to the fact that hereditary privilege is enshrined in the monarchy. This is perfectly compatible with thinking that the Queen/Meghan Markle seems like agenerally nice person. But the demand is for politcal change. Just ignoring it isn't really an option. It's a bit like telling the civil rights movement in the 60s to roll their eyes and put up with it.

I also think it's totally consistent to cheer MM on in this, and not to be a believer in the monarchy. The Daily Mail are way over the moral line every single day. They deserve to be taken down.

Just checked out the Mail online in the interests of science..... they really don’t like Harry and Meghan. 😯

Diana was forced to rely on someone else's driver and security, with the driver unbeknownst to her turning out not to be up to the job, BECAUSE she was continually harassed by paparazzi. Not just that day, that evening . . . EVERY day. She could never just hop in a taxi like I imagine Sarah Ferguson could do, because of the harrassment. The paparazzi meant Diana's lifestyle, post-divorce, was that she had to rely on drivers and security. And that led to her death because Fayed's ones failed her.

Cobblers. She was at the Ritz. She could have asked the hotel for another car. She could have stayed at the hotel. She chose to stop having protection officers.

I suspect that the MoS are rubbing their hands in glee at the massive publicity and ensuing rise in sales/interest ☹️

I suspect that seeking legal action won't change a thing - you can't seek publicity then dictate what is published.

I found the timing of the letter interesting, an evening announcement to coincide with US time zones.

They can not have their cake and eat it - with privilege comes responsibility and accountability. They are not victims. They are incredibly privileged.

d the hotel for another car. She could have stayed at the hotel. She chose to stop having protection officers

I thought the RF withdrew her protection officers when they removed her HRH Princess of Wales title?

I feel for them and think they've been treated appallingly.
However, the letter didn't read like one from daughter to Dad. It read as though it had been constructed very carefully indeed, with the knowledge that it would end up in a newspaper or quotes from it therein.

• I am wrong, Trevor Rees-Jones , her bodyguard, was also in the crash that killed her.

The MoS & their sister publication are vile. I have been called names by them in print & had them dig around in my past to try & discredit me over something very minor indeed, and I am no-one.

I cannot imagine how horrible they are to people who are high profile.
I hope that Prince Harry's action is successful at reining them in, but even if he wins his case I fear it won't be. Because there is an insatiable appetite for this type of stuff.

Isnt it PRince Harry that is taking them to court though?

How? It’s Meghan’s letter. So it was her privacy that was infringed. He doesn’t own her.
