Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex vs Associated Newspapers

JMO, M cant control other ppls portrayal of her and opinions. She needs to ignore it and move on but her PR is more damaging to her than her relationship with her dad. She just cant handle negative opinions and they are going too far with these lawsuits. She wants to be loved by all but realistically no one can achieve that.
Any publicity is good publicity, in an actors' world. Harry is so weakminded, he'll do anything she says, including be her clown.
 
Perhaps H is bent on doing the opposite of what the other royals do. If they settle, he'll go to court -- the facts be damned. There are several more suits pending against other news groups. It will be interesting what he does if he does not prevail against the MG. I think the paranoia here demands he repeat this performance.


Prince Harry Scolded For Court No-Show | Good Morning Britain​

 
So, he wants freedom from the press, but not freedom of the press?

He say's the First Ammendment is bonkers, and that the British Govt has hit rock bottom.

He did the Oprah interview when Prince Phillip was dying, knowing that the Royal Family would not defend themselves. ("Recollections may vary"), published a book of "his truth", invading the privacy of his family, and now he brings a law suit based apparently, on speculations. (He met the lovely lawyer whilst on holidays in France with Elton John)

People are struggling to feed their children, but he can't show up to court because he celebrated his daughter's second birthday the day before.

He wants to save journalism. He does not want to be a Royal, but wants titles for his children.

Who is he, and why does he think he matters, if he is no longer a working member of the Royal Family?
 
Harry opined in court that it would be an injustice, if phone hacking wasn't found to have occurred, even though no evidence of hacking has so far been presented. He has obviously forgotten about the Magna Carta.

This has gone too far. I keep waiting for something to happen to end this, someone to step in. I know the Royal Family have little or no power in the leading of the UK, but it is something. It's important, even if just for the sense of living history. This fool and his wife are reducing it to Kardashian type levels, but without the skill to do it successfully. They have pretty much failed at everything that have tried. Results of an investigation into bullying by Meghan have never been released. All they seem to do well is attack the Royal Family, and denigrate it's reputation. How many PR company's have they had helping them so far, and this is where they are? What next?

This has gone too far.
 
Just an opinion, but the royal privilege system is a mind boggling stew of primogeniture and modern media vassals.

Harry is trying to support himself while his elder brother is a self made monarch. Big difference.

In my opinion the bitterness toward Harry is the cry of subordinates with skin in the game that system being challenged.

Harry isn't perfect, nor Megan, but they are trying to stand on their own feet not on a platform provided by endless torrents of British taxpayers money.

Megan was a successfully supporting herself before meeting Harry. She didn't get along with the non workers, as royals though busy, don't actually work. So water and oil had an explosion.

The Duke of Sussex and Baroness Doreen Lawrence can continue their unlawful information gathering claims against Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail, a High Court judge has ruled.



Excellent news for all concerned. Well done to Judge Nicklin for having no truck with the 'whataboutery' the wholly amoral Mail employed to try to get the case dismissed:

The seven claimants said they were delighted with the decision, which they said “allows our claims over serious criminal activity and gross breaches of privacy by the Mail titles to proceed to trial”. They added that the high court had dismissed Associated Newspapers’ attempts to have the case thrown out “without difficulty”.

In a statement they said: “We bring our claims over the deplorable and illegal activities which took place over many years, including private investigators being hired to place secret listening devices inside our cars and homes, the tapping of our phone calls, corrupt payments to police for inside information, and the illegal accessing of our medical information from hospitals and financial information from banks.”

Bbm Hi Boxer, I am not clear what you mean here. Please expand if you have a second, thanks.
 

There was “extensive” phone hacking by Mirror Group Newspapers from 2006 to 2011, “even to some extent” during the Leveson Inquiry into media standards, a High Court judge has ruled following a trial featuring the Duke of Sussex

"Piers Morgan knew about phone hacking - and was involved - when he was editor of the Daily Mirror, the High Court has ruled."

I mean that the media are vassals to the main royals.
They do battle on behalf of the royal that favors them, and damage perceived or real opposition by unequal treatment, destroying reputation and harassment. They always win because fighting them even if there are small victories like this one, it is as impossible as fighting a group of savage monkeys.
 
Harry's lawsuit didn't really accomplish anything but giving him some money. The phone hacking came out a long time ago because Prince William went to the police after a story was published in the world news. That they could only know about from hacking his phone. Pretty much everyone else (Royals, celebrities, and the family of a murdered girl) settled.

Not much except, except yes this is happening and yes ,they lied about it.
MOO unfortunately as primates everyone knows this, and the bullying will continue as scheduled.

Nah, everyone already knew it.

Harry was offered a 200,000 settlement since he "won" less, he even has to pay his own court costs. Pretty sure he's just trying to stay relevant and in the news. Unfortunately, he's just wasting the courts time on issues that have ALREADY been proven and settled. Edited to add all of this was from 2005!!

Mirror hacking victims demand criminal investigation

The High Court last week found evidence of "widespread and habitual" use of phone hacking at the Mirror newspapers.

The Met Police said it would consider the judgement but there was no current investigation.

Dr Evan Harris, an adviser to the group of lawyers representing Prince Harry and more than 80 other claimants, said they had faith that the Met Police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) would "finally carry out their duties properly, thoroughly, and transparently"...

The Victim's Right to Review scheme allows victims of crime to request that the CPS reconsider a decision not to prosecute.

"In fact a judicial review and/or a private prosecution would also be real possibilities," Dr Harris said.

Any journalists or executives shown to have lied to the Leveson Inquiry into press standards in 2011 and 2012 could face charges of perjury.

Harry is with a group of other claimants.
 
Noticed the DM is still referring to Meghan Markle and her 14 million dollar house. So weird.


She had 5 million dollars she earned herself when she met Harry.
Meghan's was the earned money.

Harry had more than I thought due to the Queen Mother willing him money.
 

MGN will make a sum of costs of about £400k - lawyer​

Prince Harry's lawyer, David Sherborne tells the judge MGN has accepted that they will pay the Duke of Sussex damages plus "all of the costs of his claim, including individual and common costs".

Sherborne said MGN would likely pay more than 2 million pounds to cover the claimants' legal costs for their generic case, and an interim payment of 400,000 pounds towards the prince's individual costs.

In a statement MGN said: “We welcomed December’s judgment that gave the business the necessary clarity to move forward from events that took place many years ago.

“Where historical wrongdoing took place, we apologise unreservedly, have taken full responsibility and paid compensation.”

A spokesman for the publisher added: “We are pleased to have reached this agreement, which gives our business further clarity to move forward from events that took place many years ago and for which we have apologised.”
