Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, on Thursday (Jul 9) sought a court society to stop the publisher of the Mail on Sunday from publicising the names of 5 friends who could be witnesses in an ongoing legal dispute, according to a court filing.
Meghan, married woman of Queen Elizabeth's grandson Prince Harry, is suing publisher Associated Newspapers over articles its Mail on Sunday newspaper printed last year which included parts of a handwritten letter she had sent to her estranged begetter, Thomas Markle, in August 2018.
Markle and his daughter take not spoken since he pulled out of actualization at her hymeneals to Harry in May 2022 after undergoing middle surgery and following news he had staged photos with a paparazzi photographer.
The Mail service justified publishing the alphabetic character by saying five unnamed friends of Meghan had put her version of events in interviews with the Usa magazine People.
Her legal team say it was untrue she had authorised or arranged for her friends to tell People most the letter, and on Th said Associated Newspapers were threatening to publish their names.
"These v women are not on trial, and nor am I. The publisher of the Postal service on Sunday is the one on trial," Meghan said in a witness statement reviewed by Reuters.
"I respectfully ask the courtroom to treat this legal matter with the sensitivity it deserves, and to prevent the publisher of the Mail on Sun from breaking precedent and abusing the legal procedure past identifying these anonymous individuals".
