I’m currently writing up articles documenting the recent summary judgment application, in respect to ‘The Letter Case’ where Meghan Markle is suing Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) for several things including copyright infringement. As of now, I am ploughing through some witness statements, and the more I read, the chances of a summary judgment seem unlikely. However, I believe this was another attempt at trying to throw ‘Finding Freedom’ out of the equation.
I decided to write an overview, mainly because people who aren’t familiar with case or procedures ask lots of questions, so I felt a good foundation would prevent these questions that many people who have followed the case know the answers to. I am writing for people who may read this in a century, and so for some who thought it offered little, please bear this in mind.

The case is actually quite straightforward in the grand scheme of things, but the problem is there are lots of egos, and it is a case of who is being forced to tell the truth first. With so many amended statements, and more players being dragged into what is essentially a PR stunt that has gone wrong, the case revolves around who is willing to tell the truth, and who will proffer evidence to prove the truth.
The outcome is about reputations, and who lied, who got caught, and who was or are the real victim/s? During a worldwide pandemic, where Covid-19 is killing people, this case seems pointless, petty, and trivial. That makes it all the more senseless, because does anyone really win here? Thomas Markle wants to save his reputation, and his daughter wants everyone to believe she is a victim and that she deserves sympathy and pity. Frankly, most of the population don’t care, as they are too busy trying to survive – that is the reality of it all.
I feel that the public voice on the matter of the Sussexes abusing their titles is important, and that not everyone is on social media, yet they want to have their say. I am going to see if this platform will fill that gap, for those who want to voice their opinions, but without being attacked by trolls, and sugars.
Please bear with me as I experiment, and I will remain on Wordpress for the time being, but hope to publish some articles here once I am able to navigate this platform.
Sorry for the confusion, I’m new to this. I thank you for all the hard work you are putting in to this sorry saga. What a drama it has been. I really cannot understand Harry and Meghan’s attitude. The way they have treated the Royal family, especially the queen in her twilight years, is diabolical. We all know MM has no family values whatsoever but I expected more from Harry. For what it’s worth, I don’t think there will be any big revelations in their interview with Oprah, despite the hype. Having said that, the timing is strange considering it officially takes place before the review. My thoughts are, why poke the bear unnecessarily. In view of this, I do wonder if a decision has already been made and this is pay back time for MM. I have no intention of watching it that’s for sure. It’s their deceit I find hard to stomach. I have always thought of the Monarchy of bringing people together and showing solidarity, integrity and honesty and upholding family values but sadly feel these values are now being lost. HMTQ needs to take decisive action with H and MM immediately, in the hope that reputations can be salvaged.
Thank you Harry Markle for your very comprehensive account of the situation. As usual a superb read. For what it’s worth I really don’t think there will be any great revelations revealed during the interview, despite all the hype. Having said that, the timing is quite interesting and I do wonder if this is Meghan’s way of pay back for the stripping of their patronage’s, even though it makes no sense to hang on to them. My view is, how can they cannot support those charities when they have no intention of returning to the UK for any length of time. It’s just not practical. So why all the fuss? The other way of looking at it is, if they do want to keep their titles why jeopardise it with a tell all interview. It just doesn’t make sense. I won’t be watching that’s for sure. I do feel for HMTQ having to put up with this saga but I expect she has faced greater battles during her life time. It is such a shame things have gone this far and I think a clean break by removing their titles is needed and preferably before the interview takes place.
