The Sun unlawfully targeted Meghan, court hears
Prince Harry's lawyers allege a private investigator was used to provide
The Duchess of Sussex says she upset the dynamic of the hierarchy of the Royal Family just by existing
A High Court hearing has heard that The Sun newspaper unlawfully targeted Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, by publishing a private letter she wrote to her father. Meghan is suing the newspaper's publisher, News Group Newspapers, for breach of privacy and copyright infringement.
The court heard that The Sun hired a private investigator to obtain the letter, which Meghan had written to her father, Thomas Markle, in August 2018. The letter was published in The Sun in February 2019.
Meghan's lawyers argue that the publication of the letter was a breach of her privacy because it was a private communication between her and her father. They also argue that the publication of the letter was a copyright infringement because Meghan owns the copyright to her own work.
The Sun's lawyers argue that the publication of the letter was in the public interest because it revealed Meghan's relationship with her father. They also argue that Meghan had waived her right to privacy by becoming a public figure.
The judge in the case has yet to make a decision. However, the hearing has raised important questions about the right to privacy and the freedom of the press.
