Meghan Markle Is Scrutinised
Meghan Markle had posted a video of Prince Harry and Archie enjoying a skiing trip. However, the timing of the family update did not sit well with the royal watchers. And it’s because it is coinciding with the public release of Prince Harry’s flirtatious messages. Prince Harry and journalist Charlotte Griffiths old Facebook exchanges have come up. It happened during the final stages of the Duke’s privacy lawsuit against Associated Newspapers.
Hence, observers are wondering whether Meghan’s post was an intentional move. Many believe she wanted to shift focus away from the courtroom drama. Also, the legal battle took a turn when these messages were introduced as evidence. Back then, Charlotte was a diary editor at the Mail.
The banter had affectionate nicknames like “sugar” and jokes about “move struggles.” However the exchanges are not romantic. But it has sparked a debate over the Duke’s past interactions with the media. There is also further evidence, including phone records and event logs. Hence, this suggests that the pair were in contact longer than the DUke acknowledged.
According to reports, both attended an all-night party a few years ago. Even phone records show they communicated as late as 2:50 am. Also, Charlotte says that her career was not a secret within their elite London social circles. Hence, this had led critics to challenge Prince’s testimony. It’s regarding his leaky social circles and his policy of keeping distance from journalists.
Privacy Battle Reaches A Critical Turning Point
The lawsuit included allegations of gathering information unlawfully. It includes phone hacking and bugging against the publisher of the Daily Mail. However, associated newspapers have labelled these claims as smears. Also, the eleven-week trial concluded last week. However, a final ruling from Mr Justice Nickin is pending.
Many social media users believed that Meghan’s post was a strategic “distraction.” For supporters, the trial is a brave stand for privacy.
