Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, on Thursday (Jul nine) sought a court order to cease the publisher of the Post on Dominicus from publicising the names of 5 friends who could exist witnesses in an ongoing legal dispute, according to a courtroom filing.
Meghan, wife of Queen Elizabeth's grandson Prince Harry, is suing publisher Associated Newspapers over articles its Post on Sunday newspaper printed concluding year which included parts of a handwritten letter she had sent to her estranged begetter, Thomas Markle, in August 2018.
Markle and his girl have not spoken since he pulled out of appearing at her wedding to Harry in May 2022 after undergoing heart surgery and following news he had staged photos with a paparazzi photographer.
The Post justified publishing the letter past maxim 5 unnamed friends of Meghan had put her version of events in interviews with the United states of america magazine People.
Her legal team say it was untrue she had authorised or arranged for her friends to tell People about the letter of the alphabet, and on Thursday said Associated Newspapers were threatening to publish their names.
"These five women are not on trial, and nor am I. The publisher of the Mail on Sunday is the one on trial," Meghan said in a witness argument reviewed by Reuters.
"I respectfully ask the court to treat this legal thing with the sensitivity it deserves, and to forbid the publisher of the Mail on Sunday from breaking precedent and abusing the legal process by identifying these anonymous individuals".
