She has complained to the BBC that he said on the podcast that she “misled the court” in the Daily Mail case.

I thought she apologised for misleading the court and insisted it was inadvertent?

AR’s BBC documentary seemed quite pro-Sussex, so this is confusing.

I hadn’t heard of the podcast but will have a listen now. (Streisand effect rides again,)

Is there some difference between British and American English that might explain this? I cannot figure it out,

@ rubicscubicle whilst I have a sneaky admiration for your 100% devotion to M and H, repeating the same thing over and over ( eg This is all down to William) doesn’t make it a fact ! It is still only your opinion !

It is not an opinion.

As I had stated on a previous post. A boss is a boss, unless they come out to denounce, in work related matters, the person represents the boss. I made examples of that already.

Sounds rather odd if you to say that we must assume that when Sajiv Ravid spoke about the Covid rules, we must presume he is talking for himself, not for the government that employs him, therefore we won't follow what he says unless he sends proof mail/memo of what he says as signed by Bojo.

I give up . You just don’t get it but hey ho 🤷‍♀️

Just popping into register my utter bafflement that this has somehow become all William’s fault. Confused

It's always somebody else's fault with those two. The palace staff, her half sister, her Dad, Prince William, Kate, the mystery royal racist, the newspapers, the BBC. Now even the Britidh government it would seem for not agreeing with their new security demands.

@Chilledchablis1
Looks like your the one who is not getting it, despite all the real life examples I have given.

Baffled by how people are so protective of William, who would have nothing to do with anything in this case, if his employee had not come forward with useless information with the intention of being the fail star witness in order to try and sink MM.

I don't see why you think MM should take responsibly for other people doing a smear against them.

BringBackThinEyebrows · 20/01/2022 12:42

@rubicscubicle do you really think telling the truth about Meghan, with evidence, is a 'smear' against her?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 20/01/2022 12:42

Judges presumably are obliged to consider all evidence. That is their job. I’m sure they discard quite a lot of what is presented to them as not relevant to the case for whatever reason

Unless I've imagined it, didn't the judge reject some of Meghan's original claim as irrelevant, or whatever the legalese is?

It just seems a bit rich to drag the word in for everyone else's contributions when the same thing happened to the one bringing the case

As a retired solicitor, I do have a vague grasp of the law ( here in Scotland anyway ).

rubicscubicle · 20/01/2022 12:54

Don't know why you think it's rich @Puzzledandpissedoff because when MM's evidence about the character of the fail though their lying articles was thrown out for being irrelevant, she did not ask for a re-trail and submit them again under the pretence that she had new evidence pertaining to the case.

Then you, of all people will know about the relationship of employees to their employer.
cherryonthecakes · 20/01/2022 12:58

It's equally baffling that there can't be another explanation like Prince Charles going above William's head (he has been the target of many of the Sussex's attacks) or this being an attack on Omid Scobie who has spread misinformation and encouraged online attacks about the RF.

Maybe JK wants to make sure that he can move on from his time working for the RF by making sure that there's no loose ends like this ? Future employers aren't going to be impressed if it all came out later and there's questions about his honesty.

Meghan could have said "I didn't talk to FF authors directly but spoke to JK about it" and saved the embarrassment of having to apologise. People already suspected it and it would have been no surprise considering that he's still authorised to release Sussex gossip now.

Fair point, rubics, though I was really thinking of the "irrelevant" thing being used at all, rather than trying to find a reason why it was somehow different because Meghan was involved

Puzzledandpissedoff · 20/01/2022 13:11

You're bringing common sense into it now, Cheery - not always a safe thing to do on threads about this pair Wink

rubicscubicle · 20/01/2022 13:14

William is JK's boss, the head of KP. JK works for KP. Unless there is proof that JK was sent by someone else, we cannot just fling everyone else on there. Even then, I would expect W to distance himself - even if PC or someone else sent JK, there would be a question mark on how that person was mingled with KP affairs.

Why would future employers hold anything against JK on emails that have nothing to do with the letter. If anything now, future employees will wonder about the discretion of an employee that volunteers information that has nothing to do with the case.

MM can speak to the FF authors as and when she wants now. Has nothing to do with the case that she has now concluded that they are worth talking to. All of this is after the letter was published anyway.

rubicscubicle · 20/01/2022 13:20

Because FF has nothing to do with the letter, it makes sense for her to just answer the question, as yes or no , without going into details about it.
She would then have to answer almost every question with, "well, I can't remember, we have to check on old emails (which were erased for her anyway (apparently, specifically for here, since JK still had his). She did not recall herself - as she said. Hundreds of emails a day, a talk over what 4 days? some year ago? Irrelevant to boot. I can see why the judges did not dwell on it.

cherryonthecakes · 20/01/2022 13:22

Except that JK said that there were many discussions about it too,

"I can't remember" is very different to "no" and considering that they are still friends, "no" is unlikely

cherryonthecakes · 20/01/2022 13:28

While I agree that the RF is a family always briefing against each other, there's no proof that William is the only/main one leaking stuff as your previous posts suggest. For example don't you think it's highly likely that Andrew/Fergie will have leaked stuff?

William will have heard Catherine's account of the bridesmaid fitting but the other stories will have obviously come from other sources eg the tiara and "what Meghan wants, Meghan gets" story.

You know that the RF isn't an ordinary employer. Eg Charles wanted to refute the Oprah interview point by point but was overruled. The Sussex attacks on the RF have mainly targetted Charles.

UserBot999 · 20/01/2022 13:31

Yes, kirstie allsop h3ard it from camilla who heard it from w&k.

Dont know if kirstie was thanked for getting "their side" across. Maybe better to say nothing!!

rubicscubicle · 20/01/2022 13:32

JK submitted the emails. They were all at a specific time.
MM did not know at that point who OS was, she is even questioning his honesty and JK is the one who re-assures her. At one point H say, I hope they do tell the truth, it's important that they tell the truth.

Clearly MM did not go deep into the FF questions, because she could see it for the diversion it is - I say MM her lawyers ofcourse, as there seems to be a need to distinguish on this thread.

cherryonthecakes · 20/01/2022 13:35

If this was a business then KP is a subsidiary answerable to Head Office. It's not likely that the head of the smaller office is going to go rogue when there will be an effect on the other offices too.
You seem to think that William unilaterally did this to spite Meghan. Perhaps but can't be proved based on what us normal people know.
