The Duchess of Sussex's legal team has filed the lawsuit documents against ‘Daily Mail’
Follow the Sussex war against the British tabloids. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced legal action against the Associated Newspapers publisher, owner of the Daily Mail and Mail On Sunday, during their trip to Africa after publishing excerpts from a letter from the Duchess addressed to her father and, according to them, “information false ”. Now her lawyers have presented the pertinent documentation in court, documents that shed light on the dukes' requirements.
According to British media, Meghan's legal team presented its allegations to the High Court of London on November 11. These legal documents detail the specifics of the lawsuit against the publisher, in which the Mail On Sunday and its parent company are accused of printing "false" stories in an attempt to portray Meghan "negatively."
Meghan Markle wants to fight in the lawsuit against several rumors, but they mainly revolve around three axes, which are: about the relationship with her father, about the million-dollar reforms in Frogmore Cottage and about the controversial baby shower in New York.
Your paradise at Frogmore Cottage
Last November Kensington Palace announced that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were leaving Nottingham Cottage, a small house on the grounds of Kensington Palace, to move into a new residence, Frogmore Cottage. The mansion is located in the gardens adjoining Windsor Castle, an hour's drive from the British capital and where the dukes were married on May 19 last year.
According to the new papers, the renovation of the spaces included landscaped gardens, a green energy center and a custom kitchen, but not a reported 6,000 euro copper tub, 600,000 euros in aircraft soundproofing, independent yoga studio, orangery. or tennis court. Frogmore Cottage also doesn't have a “guest wing” for his mother, Doria Ragland, to stay whenever she wants.
As published by the Daily Mail then, the reforms would have cost around 3.5 million euros, with the Royal Grant responsible for the works and, for the expenses in the renovation of the interior, Harry and Meghan. There is no mention of a specific sum total in the new documents, nor is the previous one denied.
The letter published to her father
As for the letter from the Duchess to her father published by the same medium, and that went around the world, the document from Markle's legal team states that the letter was printed without her consent and was carefully edited to deliberately draw a picture. inaccurate relationship with his father.
"The omitted or suppressed parts of the letter represent almost half of the actual content," the document says. "The missing parts demonstrate the plaintiff's care for her father and others, as well as her concern for the sensational media in the UK exploiting her father," it adds.
The documents also point to Thomas not telephoning royalty prior to their May 2018 wedding to explain that he would not be able to attend, as posted. Instead, it is claimed that she "has a long history of looking after her father's well-being and trying to find solutions to any health problem."
The controversial ‘baby shower’
From the information about her ‘baby shower’ held in New York, which was a private event, she denies much of what had been published. "The party, which actually cost a small fraction of the 250,000 euros falsely declared in the article, was organized by one of her best friends from college."
The documents add that it was also "false and offensive" to suggest that some guests, which included Amal Clooney, Gayle King and designer Misha Nonoo, came from a relatively new circle of famous friends and that no party guests knew the new one. Mom for over 10 years.
Meghan also wanted to deny what was published about the non-invitation of his mother, Doria Ragland to the party: “The mother of the plaintiff, of course, was invited, and the plaintiff also offered to buy his plane tickets. However, her mother was unable to attend due to work commitments ”.
For his part, Prince Harry is also pursuing legal cases against News UK, the owner of The Sun, and MGN, the former owner of The Mirror, in High Court in connection with an alleged illegal tapping of voice messages.
