The Sun Unlawfully Targeted Meghan, Court Hears
Prince Harry's Lawyers Allege a Private Investigator Was Used to Provide...
The Sun newspaper unlawfully targeted Meghan Markle by paying a private investigator to provide information about her, a court has heard.
The Duchess of Sussex is suing the tabloid over an article published in February 2019 that claimed she had sent a "personal" letter to her father, Thomas Markle, after her wedding to Prince Harry.
Meghan's lawyers have alleged that The Sun paid a private investigator to obtain the letter, which was then published in the newspaper. They argue that this was a breach of her privacy and copyright.
The Sun has denied the allegations and is defending the case.
The trial is expected to last for several weeks.
If Meghan wins the case, she could be awarded substantial damages.
The case is being closely watched by the media and the public. It is seen as a test case for the privacy rights of public figures in the UK.
The trial is also likely to shed light on the relationship between Meghan and her father.
Thomas Markle has been estranged from his daughter since her wedding to Prince Harry. He has given several interviews to the media in which he has criticized Meghan and the royal family.
The trial is expected to hear evidence from both Meghan and her father.
