The Duchess of Sussex has lost the first High Court fight against the publishers of The Mail On Sunday.
The case is focused on the newspaper’s publication of a letter that Meghan wrote to her estranged father, Thomas Markle.
In a ruling on Friday, Mr Justice Warby struck out parts of the duchess’s claim against the Mail on Sunday’s publisher, Associated Newspapers, including allegations that it acted “dishonestly” by leaving out certain passages of the letter.
The judge also struck out allegations that the publisher deliberately “stirred up” issues between Meghan and her father, and that it had an “agenda” of publishing intrusive or offensive stories about her.
