A judge in London is hearing the latest stage on Wednesday of the Duchess of Sussex's privacy-infringement lawsuit against a British newspaper, as Meghan tries to keep the names of five of her friends out of the public eye.
The former Meghan Markle is suing the publisher of the Mail on Sunday newspaper and the MailOnline website at Britain's High Court over five articles that published portions of a handwritten letter she wrote to her estranged father, Thomas Markle, after her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018.
The newspaper's lawyers say it was Meghan's friends who brought the letter into the public domain by describing it in the People article. Associated Newspapers says the friends' evidence "is at the heart of the case" and their identities should be known. But Rushbrooke said Meghan did not know at the time that her friends were speaking to the magazine. He said the anonymous interviews were arranged by one of the five friends, who was concerned about the toll media criticism was taking on the duchess, pregnant at the time with her first child.
