If Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan don’t like something, they don’t swallow it royally – they complain and try to take action against the perceived injustice.
Prince Harry, 37, who retired as Senior Royal in 2020, has nevertheless continued to demand police protection for himself and his family and said he intends to sue the British government if necessary. And Duchess Meghan, 40, is also bringing out harder guns – especially when it comes to the press.
Duchess Meghan: apology for “misleading”
A few weeks ago, Meghan achieved a final victory in the lawsuit against the British newspaper group “Associated Newspapers” because they published excerpts from their personal letter to their father Thomas Markle, 77, in February 2019 – but the associated court process did not go quite as well , as Meghan would have liked.
Emails have surfaced proving that the former actress did work with the authors of the biography Finding Freedom – Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand – which she has previously denied. Meghan’s explanation: She could not remember the written exchange with her communications secretary Jason Knauf on the subject and apologize to the responsible judges. “I had absolutely no desire or intention to mislead the defendant or the court,” it said.
Successful complaint to BBC
Journalist Amol Rajan, 38, picked up this point again in the BBC podcast “Harry, Meghan And The Media”. “Initially, Meghan Markle said she didn’t help Scobie with the book. She apologized for misleading the court about it,” he noted. Actually only a short summary of the events, in which her apology is even mentioned, but Meghan was apparently still bothered by this statement.
She complained to the BBC and asked the broadcaster to explain the situation. He complied with Meghan’s request and released a statement: “The Duchess of Sussex has asked us to clarify that she has apologized to the court for not remembering the email exchange with her former communications secretary, Jason Knauf, and said she had no intention of misleading the court.”
