Meghan Markle’s Credibility Under Fire After Court Apology

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's credibility is being called into question after the Duchess was forced to apologize for misleading the court.

Meghan Markle has apologized to the Court of Appeal for forgetting that she authorized an aide to brief the writers of a controversial biography about her and husband Prince Harry.

The couple have always claimed that there was no collaboration between them and the authors, but in a witness statement, former Communications Secretary Jason Knauf claimed that he was authorized by Meghan to help them.

This has brought the credibility of the Duchess to the spotlight.

Jeremy Vine panelist Christopher Fass discusses how Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are allegedly losing their credibility day after day.

He claimed, “Now we're thinking, hang on the story of the racist royal.

Was that not true either?

But this is what happens, everything gets called into question.

Their credibility goes day after day and I'm sorry, it is actually reasonable to call into question.”

The court also heard that Meghan Markle's letter to her father was written with public consumption in mind as a possibility.

The Duchess of Sussex speculated that referring to her estranged father as daddy in a letter to him would pull at the heartstrings in the unfortunate event that it was leaked, the court heard.

She sued the publisher of the Mail on Sunday and the Mail online website for breach of privacy and copyright.

A high court judge ruled in her favor in February, saying publication of the letter Meghan wrote to her father, Thomas Markle, was manifestly excessive and hence unlawful.

Publisher Associated Newspapers is trying to overturn that decision at the court of appeal.

The publisher argues that Meghan wrote the letter knowing it might be published and made private information public by cooperating with Amit Scobie and Carol Ender and authors of Finding Freedom.

The Duchess's lawyers have previously denied that she or Harry collaborated with the authors.

But the couple's former communications director, Jason Knauf, said in evidence to the court that he gave the writers information and discussed it with Harry and Meghan.

In a witness statement, Mr Knauf said the book was discussed directly with the Duchess multiple times in person and over email.

Articles released as part of Mr Knauf's statement showed he also emailed Harry to discuss the book and to say he would meet the authors.

Mr Knauf said Harry replied, “I totally agree that we have to be able to say we didn't have anything to do with it.

Equally, you giving the right context and background to them would help get some truths out there.”

Meghan Markle's credibility is not the only issue at hand.

The role of the royal family is also being questioned.

Journalist Gemma Forte added, “Harry has his own mind.

That's what I'm trying to say.

You are right, but then it makes me question further the role of a royal family and having princes and princesses in this century going forward.”

The couple's half in half out lifestyle is also being criticized.

They still want to use their royal titles, yet they are living in the United States.

Fass questioned, “Who was behind the move to the States?

Call into question aspects of the relationship, they are members, or they were members of the royal family.

They still want to use their royal titles.

They are living this sort of half in half out life.

Oh, you know what, we're royal enough to get $150 million from Netflix but not quite royal enough in order to have to deal with negative headlines.”

Meghan has accepted that Mr Knauf did provide some information to the authors for the book and that he did so with her knowledge, for a meeting that he planned for with the authors in his capacity as communications secretary.

She added, “The extent of the information he shared is unknown to me.
