Meghan Markle's legal drama NOT over as Supreme Court challenge looms - Royal Expert

However, the defendant in the case and publisher of the MailOnline and Mail on Sunday, Associated Newspapers, announced in a statement it is considering an appeal to the British Supreme Court. The statement read: "We are very disappointed by the decision of the Court of Appeal. "It is our strong view that judgment should be given only on the basis of evidence tested at trial, and not on a summary basis in a heavily contested case, before even disclosure of documents. "No evidence has been tested in cross–examination, as it should be, especially when Mr Knauf's evidence raises issues as to the duchess's credibility. "After People magazine published an attack on Mr Markle, based on false briefings from the duchess's friends wrongly describing the letter as a loving letter, it was important to show that the letter was no such thing. "Both the letter and People magazine also seriously misrepresented the reasons for Mr Markle's non–attendance at the royal wedding. "The articles corrected these matters and raised other issues of public interest including the reasons for the breakdown in the relationship between the duchess and her father. "We are considering an appeal to the Supreme Court in the United Kingdom." This statement mentioned Jason Knauf, who was Meghan's communications secretary between 2018 and 2019. Mr Knauf was heard in November by the Court of Appeal through a written witness statement in which he claimed Meghan had written the letter to her estranged father Thomas Markle Snr in August 2018 with the understanding that it could be leaked. He said she had sent him an early draft of the letter and had written: "Obviously everything I have drafted is with the understanding that it could be leaked so I have been meticulous in my word choice, but please do let me know if anything stands out for you as a liability." Among other claims made by Mr Knauf in his statement, the former royal communications secretary detailed by sharing a text exchange with the Duchess how Meghan chose to call her father "Daddy" in her letter as she had "only ever called him" in this manner and "in the unfortunate event that it leaked it would pull at the heartstrings". Moreover, Mr Knauf said Meghan had "deliberately ended each page part way through a sentence so that no page could be falsely presented as the end of the letter". In her statement to the Court of Appeal, Meghan stressed she did not think her father would leak her letter as it would have shown him in a "bad light". Denying she thought it likely her letter would enter the public sphere, she said she "merely recognised that this was a possibility". The Duchess also said: "The proposition that saying that I recognised that it was possible that my father would leak the letter, albeit unlikely, is the same as saying that I thought it likely that he would do so is, I would suggest, absurd." The Duchess said the text exchange showed she went to "considerable lengths to ensure that the letter only went to my father". The Associated Newspapers' statement also mentioned a People article, referring to a story published by the US magazine in early 2019 in which five friends of Meghan anonymously defended the Duchess and spoke about her father. The MailOnline and Mail On Sunday later published, in February 2019, extracts from the Duchess' "private and personal" letter to Mr Markle over five articles. A few months later, in October 2019, Prince Harry announced in a statement his wife the Duchess of Sussex had decided to sue Associated Newspaper, the publisher also of the Daily Mail. Meghan claimed the Associated Newspapers' articles containing her letter misused her private information, infringed her copyright and breached the Data Protection Act. #PrinceHarry #TheQueen #Queen #MeghanMarkle #Wedding #anniversary #Diana #PrinceWilliam #Kate #PrinceCharles #Archie #Phillip #PrinceLouis #Dianastatue ✅ Subscribe for daily updates: 👉    / @royalexpertchannel696
