品の無い、興味もない本ではありますが、
だだっと、記録です（笑）
===================================================
Mr Scobie and Miss Durand say they have spoken to more than 100 sources, including ‘close friends of Harry and Meghan, royal aides and palace staff (past and present)’.
A spokesman said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not contribute to the book. Meghan has been said in the past to permit friends to speak to the press on her behalf.
**********************************
●ハリー王子は2回目のデート後、メーガン妃を一生の伴侶だと決めた。
●実はプロポーズは、公式発表の3ヶ月前、ボツワナだった。
2017年11月に公式発表され、プロポーズはチキンディナー中と言われていたが、実際には8月、メーガン妃の36歳のバースデー祝いを兼ねて訪れたボツワナ(2017年8月)で婚約していた。
●その寸前、ハリー王子が性欲で盲目になっているのでは？と危惧し、「ゆっくり時間をかけて、この女の子のことを知りあっていきなさい 」と、メーガン妃との関係を急がないよう迫った兄ウィリアム王子の”この女の子”という言葉に、見下されたように感じ、兄に対して“スノッブ”だと見なし、それ以来兄弟はロクに口をきいていない。
●メーガン妃との交際以降、ハリー王子は少しの偏見に対してもとても敏感になり、「これは人種に関すること？それは上流気取り？」と常に疑問に思うようになった。そんな中古くからの友人が、メーガン妃に関するゴシップについて語っていたことが王子の耳に入り、その友人を即切った。
●ロンドンはソーホーのタウンハウスでの初対面。メーガン妃に完全に心を奪われたハリー王子。一方、メーガン妃も友人に「これは長く続くかも」と友人に語ったとか。３時間の楽しい初デートの2回目は、同じ場所で翌日の夜。それから3ヶ月、ハリー王子が「I love you」というと、メーガン妃も「私も」と返したのだそう。
●昨年のエリザベス女王からのクリスマスメッセージの際に、机の上にハリー王子＆メーガン妃の写真が飾られていなかったことに、脇へ追いやられたと夫妻が理解した。
（事実であるなら、これは王室メンバーとしては言語道断。現君主の女王を中心にジョージ６世、チャールズ皇太子夫妻、ケンブリッジ公爵夫妻の写真とくれば、いわゆる王位継承者としての意味あるチョイス。それは事実であり、ハリー王子夫妻には異なる立場と期待がありました。）
●ハリー王子は、メーガン妃と自分がしばしば他のメンバー（チャールズ皇太子やウィリアム王子など）よりも後部席に座らされることにストレスを感じていた。組織の階級制に対してリスペクトはするけれど、 彼らがプロジェクトにフォーカスしたい時も、家族の中の上級メンバーが主導権を持っているからと、同時期にツアーの発表がある場合には、待たなければならなかった。
●公式な交際発表を兼ねてハリー王子が、メーガン妃への過度な取材に対するメディア批判声明を出されたのは、チャールズ皇太子の中東ツアーのスタート直後だった。バーレーンに到着され国王との面会というところで、声明が発表されたことによって、メディアは一斉にこれを取り上げ、皇太子夫妻の外交ツアーはかき消されてしまった。
●ケンジントンパレスに住んでいるという事実以外共通点は無く、友人とはなれなかったキャサリン妃とメーガン妃。
●王室入りして以来、キャサリン妃が手を差し伸べてくれることもなく、招待したコッツウォルズの家に一度も尋ねてくることもなかったことに、失望したメーガン妃は、キャサリン妃を冷淡だとみなした。
ヴァニティフェアの王室担当記者によると、ある時期にキャサリン妃は状況修正をするべく、メーガン妃にお花を送ったのだそう。しかしメーガン妃は当惑し、単刀直入に「お花で済むことではありません」と言ったとか。
●ハリー王子とメーガン妃は、交際発覚前まで、お互いのインスタグラムをフォローし合っていた。
トランス好きの王子が、カナダ人DJからインスパイアされた”SpikeyMaus5”をユーザーネームにし、メーガン妃が出会った頃から、フォローされていたことが確認されている。
メーガン妃は、ロンドン滞在中の画像を多く投稿していて、当然2人のデートはシークレットにするべきだったが、そこには手がかりも。
●ハリー王子と出会う前、折にふれ、パパラッチ写真を撮らせるようフォトグラファーやプレスへ口を滑らせるよう仕掛けていたが、ハリー王子との交際後は、プライバシーを守ることに彼女の全パワーを費やした。
関係が明るみになったことに対してメーガン妃の関与は明言されていないが、翌日彼女は「嬉しくもあり悲しくもある」と述べていて、一方で秘密がバレてしまいがっかりした、とも。
●英国王室の偏見に耐え続けた。
「なにか彼女を信用できないのよ」と、1人の上級スタッフが同僚に話すのを耳にした」
●ある親しい友人曰く、王室内で”ダッチェス・ディファレント“(違った公爵夫人)とみなされていて、何人かには好かれていなかった。その理由は、目立つから。彼女の決断力や自己主張といった性格が、王室スタッフにとっても慣れていない。
●ある1人の上級ロイヤルメンバーが、メーガン妃のことを“ハリーのショーガール”だと言及した。
●ハリー王子は家族に守られていないと感じとても敏感になったがゆえの、歯に衣着せない言動が、パレスの塀の中で批判された。
●上級廷臣の1人が、夫妻の世界的な人気に対して、抑制する必要があると感じていた。
●ケンブリッジ家とサセックス家の関係はかなり冷え込んでいて、上級ロイヤルとしての最後の公務でキャサリン妃がメーガン妃を屈辱的なほど冷たくあしらった。
●涙ながらメーガン妃が友人へ語った。「この家族の為の私の人生はやめるわ」
●メーガン妃が、自分のエメラルドのティアラを希望したが、女王がこれを却下
Queen DID slap down Meghan Markle over her choice of wedding day tiara but duchess blames Her Majesty's dresser Angela Kelly for the bust-up, book reveals
However the authors of Finding Freedom, Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, claim Harry felt the Queen's dresser Angela Kelly had deliberately dragged her feet while trying to help decide on what tiara to wear, The Sun reportsMeghan wanted to wear an emerald tiara, but the Queen had instead selected a diamond tiara worn by her grandmother, Queen Mary, in 1932.

'Meghan cannot have whatever she wants. She gets what tiara she's given by me.'
'Meghan cannot have whatever she wants. She gets what tiara she's given by me.'
'The Queen also questioned why Meghan needed a veil for the wedding, given it was to be her second marriage', the source alleged, adding that: 'Meghan can be difficult'.
He allegedly told staff with a raised voice: 'What Meghan wants, Meghan gets' and when reports of his 'tiresome behaviour' reached the Queen who asked to see her grandson privately and she 'put him firmly in his place', Mr Jobson wrote.
In 2018 Meghan said the Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau was the 'perfect' choice for her wedding, describing how she wanted her bridal look to be 'incredibly timeless' yet 'still modern'.
Speaking for an exhibition where the tiara was being displayed at the time, she said: 'When it came to the tiara on the day, I was very fortunate to be able to choose this gorgeous art deco style bandeau tiara.
'Harry and I had gone to Buckingham Palace to meet with Her Majesty The Queen to select one of the options that were there, which was an incredibly surreal day as you can imagine.
'And that was the one that, I think, as we tried them on, stood out.'
Speaking about the tiara she eventually chose, she continued: 'I think it was just perfect because it was so clean and simple - and also to that point, an extension of what Clare and I had been trying to do with the dress which was have something that could be so incredibly timeless but still feel modern.'
●ハリー王子は、ウィリアム王子＆キャサリン妃との合同公務の際、自分を第三者・邪魔者だと感じていた。
royal expert Katie Nicholl said Harry feeling like a third wheel is a 'recurring theme' of the book.
She said that while the media love the idea of Prince Harry, Prince William and Kate Middleton being a fanastic team, Harry felt like 'a spare wheel'.
'At points [in time], I even heard him complaining that he felt like the gooseberry, the third one along at the date. He never quite fitted in,' she added.
Katie, who works as a royal editor for Vanity Fair, added that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 38, went out of their way to make sure Harry felt 'part of the team' but he 'always wanted to be his own person'.
'I think Meghan has very much been the catalyst in giving him that confidence to break free from William and Kate, and to break free from that trio dynamic, which was at times cozy and convenient, but actually wasn't really what he wanted.'
The expert added that Meghan was 'very much a driving force' and that 'people don't give her enough credit' for giving him confidence.
●緊張関係の中空気を緩め、2人を近づけたのはシャーロット王女＆スマイソン
the two royal women had a strained relationship from the start.
They say it wasn't a falling out as such, more that they were never close as they were very different.
Harry introduced his then girlfriend Meghan to his brother and Kate at Kensington Palace a few months into their relationship.
However the book says that Kate is an "extremely guarded person" who keeps a very tight group of friends.
But Kate's daughter Charlotte helped to ease the tension between the women due to Meghan's "adoration" of the little Princess.
During the early days of their relationship, Meghan lived with Harry at his Kensington Palace home Nottingham Cottage.
The small two-bed was just around the corner from the Cambridges, which meant they were extremely close and spent a lot of time with Charlotte and her brothers George and Louis.
Meghan also bought her sister-in-law a soft leather Smythson notebook which brought them together.
===================================================
1. HARRY AND MEGHAN WERE SECRETLY ENGAGED THREE MONTHS BEFORE THEY WENT PUBLIC: According to Finding Freedom, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex 'became secretly engaged in August 2017'. That same month, the pair took a trip to Botswana where they are said to have celebrated both Meghan's 36th birthday and their first year as a couple. In the biography, a source says Prince William tried to 'make sure that Harry wasn't blindsided by lust' in his relationship with Meghan shortly before they got engaged that August. Harry took offence when William told him: 'Take as much time as you need to get to know this girl.' Harry is said to have considered the choice of the words 'this girl' to be condescending.
2. HARRY DITCHED AN OLD FRIEND FOR 'CRITICIZING MEGAN': Scobie and Durand wrote: ‘Harry, sensitive to even the slightest hint of prejudice, had fallouts within his own circle.’ Questions about the new relationship left him wondering: ‘Is this about race? Is it snobbery?’ Matters came to a head with an old male friend of the prince who ‘spent an afternoon gossiping about Meghan’. The writers say: ‘Word got back to Harry and the prince immediately cut him off.' The book offers no clue to the identity of the friend. It has previously been reported that the duke’s friendship with several members of his former inner circle cooled or ended altogether after he met Meghan.
3. THE COUPLE FELL FOR EACH OTHER ALMOST IMMEDIATELY: Finding Freedom claims Harry and Meghan felt a 'palpable attraction' after their first date at Dean Street Townhouse in Soho, London. Harry reportedly left in a 'trance' and Meghan told friends 'this could have legs'. Harry had a beer, while Meghan drank a martini as they discussed their work, so engrossed with each other that their nibbles lay neglected. That first date lasted three hours, and their next meeting was the very next night, at the same venue, the book claims. Harry said 'I love you' to Meghan just three months into their courtship, and Meghan quickly responded with 'I love you, too'
4. HARRY AND MEGHAN FELT SNUBBED BY THE QUEEN: The couple were perturbed when the Queen broadcasted to the nation alongside family snaps but without their picture on her desk, Finding Freedom claims. Already feeling they ‘had long been sidelined by the institution and were not a fundamental part of its future’, the couple considered the episode to be ‘yet another sign that they needed to consider their own path’, according to the book’s authors. Photographs of the Duke and Duchess had featured in the Queen’s address in 2018, but she opted last year to display only images of her father King George VI, Prince Charles and Camilla and a family shot of the Cambridges. The book quotes Palace sources as saying they wanted to illustrate the line of succession.
5. HARRY'S FRUSTRATIONS WITH HIS PLACE IN THE ROYAL FAMILY: Prince Harry felt Prince Charles valued his own public image above their father-son relationship, Finding Freedom claims. The biography also revealed Harry had 'grown frustrated' that he and Meghan 'often took a back seat to other family members,' including his father and brother. 'While they both respected the hierarchy of the institution, it was difficult when they wanted to focus on a project and were told that a more senior ranking family member, be it Prince William or Prince Charles, had an initiative or tour being announced at the same time — so they would just have to wait,' the book claims.
6. HARRY GAVE HIS FATHER JUST 20 MINUTES NOTICE BEFORE GOING PUBLIC WITH MEGHAN: Prince Charles was left ‘crushed’ when Harry confirmed Meghan Markle was his girlfriend — as it overshadowed an official tour of the Middle East, Finding Freedom claims. ‘When Harry decided to make an official statement, the only stumbling block was Prince Charles. On a diplomatic tour in the Middle East, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall had just arrived in Bahrain to meet the country’s King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa... A statement from Kensington Palace condemning the Press and, in the same breath, confirming Harry’s new girlfriend would all but eliminate coverage of Prince Charles’s tour of the Gulf.’ The biography of the Sussexes goes on: ‘The Palace decided to go ahead with the statement nonetheless, much of which was drafted by Harry himself. Sure enough, as soon as Harry put out his declaration, the statement dominated the news cycle.
7. KATE SENT FLOWERS TO MEGHAN AS A 'PEACE OFFERING': Finding Freedom alleges that the Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Sussex, both 38, never became friends - with Meghan 'disappointed' Kate never reached out to her or visited. According to the book, the two 'struggled to move past distance politeness' and had 'nothing in common other than the fact that they lived at Kensington Palace'. Vanity Fair's Katie Nicholl has revealed how Kate did send flowers 'at one point' to 'rectify the situation', but the Duchess of Sussex was nonplussed, with the royal author writing: 'Meghan told Kate in no uncertain terms that flowers were not enough.'
![8. HARRY AND MEGAN FOLLOWED EACH OTHER ON INSTAGRAM: Harry and Meghan followed each other on Instagram after their first secretive date with the royal using a pseudonym inspired by his love of house music and the nickname given to him by his Met Police bodyguards, Finding Freedom reveals. Harry used the username SpikeyMau5, inspired by Canadian DJ Deadmau5, before freezing the account after his relationship with the former Suits star emerged in October 2016. 'Although she [Meghan] shared much of her London visit on social media, Meghan knew she had to keep her dates a secret. But the clues were there. Around the time of their first encounter, she began to follow a mysterious-looking Instagram account by the name of @SpikeyMau5'.](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/07/27/18/31241078-0-Harry_s_love_of_Canadian_DJ_Deadmau5_pictured_inspired_the_name_-a-11_1595870191244.jpg)

9. MEGHAN ALLEGEDLY SET UP PHOTO OPPS WITH PAPARAZZI: Before Harry and Meghan became an item, the Suits star allegedly told photographers where she would be so they could get pictures and ‘let info slip out to the press’, the bombshell biography claims. There is no suggestion that Meghan was involved in the pair’s relationship becoming public. The book states: ‘The following day [after the pair become public] Meghan felt somewhat bittersweet. On the one hand, she was disappointed that their secret was out. It was no longer just the two of them. While Meghan, before she met Harry, had occasionally set up a paparazzi photo here and there or let info slip out to the press, she did everything in her power to protect the privacy of her relationship with the prince. She knew keeping things quiet meant they could get to know each other without pressure or further worries that came from reporters covering their romance.’
Finding Freedom: The bombshell revelations from Harry and Meghan's biography
Harry and William fell out, when Duke of Sussex branded older brother a 'snob'
Prince Harry took offence when his 'snobby' brother cautioned him not to rush into marrying Meghan Markle.
Harry took offence when William told him: 'Take as much time as you need to get to know this girl.'
Harry is said to have considered the choice of the words 'this girl' to be condescending.
'In those last two words, 'this girl', Harry heard the tone of snobbishness that was anathema to his approach to the world,' claims the book. 'During his ten-year career in the military, outside the Royal bubble, he had learnt not to make snap judgments about people based on their accent, education, ethnicity, class or profession.'

Meghan was disappointed Kate never reached out
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle never became friends - while the Duchess of Sussex was 'disappointed' she never reached out to her or visited.
The Duchesses 'struggled to move past distance politeness' and had 'nothing in common other than the fact that they lived at Kensington Palace', according to the authors of Finding Freedom.
In one particularly awkward encounter when Meghan was dating Harry, Kate went alone in her Range Rover on a shopping trip - despite the fact Meghan was also going to the same street.
The lack of any friendship between the pair was confirmed in 2018 when the Sussexes announced they wanted to base their family at Windsor.
Despite this frostiness, Meghan felt hurt at newspaper stories of the 'duelling duchesses' and was angry at the failure of the palace press office to correct them.

Courtiers branded Meghan Markle a 'showgirl with lots of baggage' and said 'there's something about her I don't trust'
A courtier in the Royal Household has said 'there is something I don't trust' about Meghan Markle, the book claims.
The book, Finding Freedom, claims as soon as Meghan was introduced to members of the Royal Household, tensions emerged.
One source claimed: 'She comes with a lot of baggage.' Another suggested: There's just something about her I don't trust.'
Another described Meghan as 'Harry's showgirl
Harry was convinced he was going to marry Meghan after the second date
The biography describes in detail the couple's first date in Soho, London, which went so well that Meghan later confided in a friend: 'Do I sound crazy when I say this could have legs?'.
Before arriving in the capital she had also told a confidant that she'd be happy for 'a nice English gentleman to flirt with' while promoting Suits in Britain.
During that first date at London's Dean Street Townhouse the couple spent three hours in conversation, Harry drinking beer and Meghan sipping martinis. Harry was said to be 'in a trance' and had told himself: 'I've got to up my game here' when trying to impress the LA-born actress.
The book says: 'Meghan had enough dating experience to know a charmer when she saw one, and Harry was obviously not at all that' - adding the couple were 'immediately obsessed' with each other and bonded over their joint 'passions for wanting to make change for good'.
The biography describes in detail the couple's first date in Soho, London, which went so well that Meghan later confided in a friend: 'Do I sound crazy when I say this could have legs?'. The couple are pictured in March
According to one friend quoted in the book, Harry and Meghan 'chatted a lot' but the evening, like the night before, ended chastely, with Harry returning to Kensington Palace despite their 'electric chemistry'.
Describing how they flirted throughout, the authors said: 'A touch of an arm here, direct eye contact there.'
The pair had now met just twice but Harry already knew 'they would be together at that point', a friend said, adding of Meghan: 'She was ticking every box fast.' Meghan, who was in London visiting, documented much of her trip on social media.
The night out was so successful the second date the following night at the same venue where they are said to have sneaked in via a side door, hidden from view by a delivery truck bringing in produce and fresh fish from Billingsgate Market.

Meghan's necklace controversy
Meghan Markle was left 'frustrated and emotional' after a palace aide 'scolded' her for wearing a necklace with the initials H and M before she and Prince Harry were engaged, according to Finding Freedom.
The former Suits star, 38, was spotted wearing the personalised £184 14 karat gold chain by Los Angeles-based designer Maya Brenner - believed to have been a gift from the prince - while out shopping in Toronto in December 2016.
The bold move was seen as an early indication of the seriousness of their relationship - a month after the news of their love affair emerged. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex later announced their engagement in November 2017.

According to a source close to the couple, following the publication of the images Meghan received a dressing down from a palace aide.
'She was advised that wearing such a necklace only served to encourage the photographers to keep pursuing such images — and new headlines,' they said.
Prince Harry was REFUSED Queen's offer of a trial period' that would have allowed him and Meghan Markle to return to the fold 12 months after Megxit
Prince Harry was so keen on quitting the royal family that he initially refused the offer of a trial period which could have seen him and Meghan return to the UK after Megxit,
The review was insisted upon by courtiers and other royals, with the Queen keen to let Harry know he could return to the fold if he changed his mind.
However, the Duke of Sussex was keen to make a 'clean break' and had to be persuaded to agree to the trial period. A source said: 'He was adamantly opposed to the review process.'
Harry is thought to have been against the idea because it came from 'the institution' and he feared that a review would lessen the impact of their departure, allowing the media to write they could return.
Prince Harry was so keen on quitting the royal family that he initially refused the offer of a trial period which could have seen him and Meghan return to the UK after Megxit. Meghan is pictured with the Queen in June 2018
Harry believed the 'old guard' at Buckingham Palace disliked Meghan and wanted to make her life difficult.
That belief is thought to have fuelled his desire to not include a review option in Megxit.
Harry 'ditched an old friend for criticising Meghan'
The Duke of Sussex was so 'incandescent' with rage at the racist abuse Meghan Markle received after their relationship went public that he ditched an old friend for gossiping about her.
Harry was shocked at the reception given to his new girlfriend by his social circle and the wider public, according to Finding Freedom.
He was especially concerned about ‘the ugliness of racism...both unconscious and intentional’.
Charles didn't know about Harry's press statement
Before they were engaged, Harry gave a bombshell statement from Kensington Palace condemning the press while confirming Harry's new girlfriend.
But it's release coincided with Prince Charles' tour in the Middle East, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall having arrived in Bahrain to meet the country's King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa.
The palace decided to go ahead with the statement, much of it drafted by Harry himself.

His father only learnt of the statement 20 minutes before it was released and, unsurprisingly, it soon dominated the news cycle.
Prince Charles and his team were left crushed and disappointed, though Charles also understood the intervention was a necessary one.
However, the episode only served to prove that Harry felt the need to prioritise the woman he loved over duty to the royal family.
Harry had a secret Instagram account
Harry used the username SpikeyMau5, inspired by Canadian DJ Deadmau5, before freezing the account after his relationship with the former Suits star emerged in October 2016.
The private Instagram profile had a mouse-shaped helmet for a picture - but piqued attention from Meghan's legions of fans when she became just one of two people following it four years ago just after the couple had a blind date at Dean Street Townhouse in Soho.
The 'Spikey' element of its name came from the code word used by Scotland Yard officers guarding the Duke of Sussex 24/7.
Harry and Meghan's £1500 a night camping trip
Six weeks after their first date, Harry took Meghan to Botswana where the pair stayed in £1,500-a-night tents.
A friend is quoted as saying: ‘She came back smiling and just completely spellbound.’ Meghan’s phone was also said to be full of photos, including selfies of her and Harry.
‘I’ve never felt that safe that close to someone in such a short amount of time,’ she reportedly told a friend.
They continued their relationship in secret with Harry flying out to Canada to spend time with her.
But the authors said that ever since the couple’s trip to Africa, ‘their romance had been on a fast track’.
‘Technically the getaway was just their third date but by then, they were each already dancing around the idea that this just may be a for ever thing,’ a friend said.
The biography also claims: -
- Meghan used to tip off the paparazzi when working as an actress in Canada, despite her later going on to claim she didn't understand the 'tabloid culture'.
- Meghan's friends claimed she endured prejudice from the royal household, with a senior staff member overheard telling a colleague: 'There's just something about her I just don't trust.'
- Harry felt 'unprotected' by his family and disparaged within palace walls for being 'too sensitive and outspoken'.
- Senior courtiers in other households felt that the global popularity of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex 'needed to be reined in',
- A tearful Meghan told friends about their decision to quit royal duties: 'I gave up my entire life for this family.'

– 2020
– January 8: The duke and duchess announce in a statement released by Buckingham Palace they are stepping back as “senior” members of the royal family and are “working to become financially independent”. They also reveal they will split their time between the UK and North America.
– January 14: Associated Newspapers files its defence, claiming the Duchess of Sussex was more worried about the “unflattering” effect of the publication of letter extracts written to her estranged father than any breach of her data protection rights. The defence document also reveals that the publisher will rely on evidence from Mr Markle, meaning that should the case go to trial both Meghan and her father may have to testify against one another.
– January 19: The Duke of Sussex describes the media as a “powerful force” during a speech at a private event for his charity Sentebale in which he referred to the impact of overwhelming media intrusion on the daily life of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales, who was killed in a crash after her car, driven at speed by a drunk chauffeur, was chased through the streets of Paris by the paparazzi.
– January 27: Thomas Markle is interviewed on ITV’s Good Morning Britain and asks the Duke of Sussex to “man up” and meet him.

– April 20: Details of calls and texts by the duke and duchess to Mr Markle in the days before their May 2018 wedding are revealed in court documents. In their reply to the Mail on Sunday’s defence, the duchess’s lawyers say she first discovered her father was in hospital through his statement to US website TMZ.
On the same day, the duke and duchess announced they have severed all dealings with Britain’s tabloid press, writing in a strongly worded letter to the editors of The Sun, Daily Mirror, Daily Mail and Daily Express that they will not “offer themselves up as currency for an economy of clickbait and distortion”.
– April 24: First High Court hearing in Meghan’s legal action against Associated Newspapers. Mr Justice Warby hears an application by the publisher to strike out parts of Meghan’s claim. The duke and duchess are understood to listen in to the part of the hearing conducted by her lawyers. The case is heard remotely as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
– May 1: Associated Newspapers wins the first High Court skirmish in the legal action. In a ruling, Mr Justice Warby strikes out parts of Meghan’s claim against the publisher, 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.
The judge said those allegations should not form part of her case at this stage, because they were “irrelevant” to her claim for misuse of private information, copyright infringement and breach of the Data Protection Act. But he also said those parts of her case may be revived at a later stage, if they are put on a proper legal basis.
– July 1: Meghan applies to the High Court to stop Associated Newspapers from naming her five friends who spoke anonymously to People, a US magazine, to defend her from tabloid “bullying”.
– July 29: Meghan’s claim returns to the High Court for another preliminary hearing. Mr Justice Warby hears two matters – one on costs and an application to prevent Associated Newspapers from disclosing the names of the five people who spoke anonymously to People magazine.
