According to Prince Harry's memoir "Spare," Meghan Markle was aware that
her personal letter had been illegally leaked to the media.
Despite this knowledge, the media still went ahead and published the letter, leaving Meghan defenseless against their attacks.
Prince Harry believes that the reason behind this was because the media knew that Meghan did not have the strong support of his family. How else could they have known this information except from people close to or within the family?
The media also knew that Meghan's only option was to sue, but she was unable to do so because the only lawyer working with the family was under the control of the Palace, which would not allow him to act on her behalf. This left Meghan in a difficult position, with no way to defend herself against the media's unjust treatment.
