“The letter was presented in a way that vilified me and wasn’t true,” he said. But Mr Markle says Meghan’s decision to reveal the letter left him with no choice but to go public. ‘The article painted Meghan in a glowing light, while insisting the negative stories about her were lies. Lawyers acting for Associated Newspapers argue that the fact that the letter was drafted with the help of her press secretary – and its existence leaked to a US magazine – makes it a ‘public-facing’ document, rather than a purely private missive from daughter to father.Īndrew Caldecott QC, acting for the newspaper group, said: ‘ had honoured the privacy in this letter until the People article appeared. By taking this form of action, I protect my husband from this constant berating and while unlikely perhaps it will give my father a moment to pause.’ The messages highlight tensions within the family, with Meghan saying Harry, who she called ‘H’, was ‘constantly berated’.Īfter a visit to the Castle of Mey, where Meghan and Harry stayed with Charles and Camilla, Meghan wrote: ‘Even after a week with his dad and endlessly explaining the situation, his family seem to forget the context – and revert to “can’t she just go and see him and make this stop?” They fundamentally don’t understand, so at least by writing H will be able to say to his family “she wrote him a letter and he’s still doing it”. In a statement to the court, Meghan said: ‘I went to considerable lengths to ensure that the Letter only went to my father, and that, in the event that it was intercepted or leaked, an eventuality I considered would be “unfortunate” if it happened, that its contents could not be manipulated or misleadingly edited.’
