Meghan privacy claim against Mail on Sunday owner 'continues' despite setback



Lawyers for the Duchess of Sussex have
insisted her privacy claim against the publishers of the Mail on Sunday (MoS) will continue after she was dealt an initial blow when a judge ruled that part of her case should be struck out.

Lawyers for Associated Newspapers had argued last month against elements including that some words and sentences from a letter by Meghan to her estranged father, Thomas Markle, had been “dishonestly” cut out before publication in order to paint a misleading picture of the relationship between the two.

She is suing the newspaper group for misuse of private information, breach of data protection and copyright infringement after the Mail on Sunday and Mail Online, which it owns, published contents of the handwritten letter sent to Markle, 75, in August 2018. Associated Newspapers denies the claims.

Delivering his ruling on Friday, Mr Justice Warby struck out allegations that the publisher had acted “dishonestly” by leaving out certain passages of the letter.

He also struck out allegations that the publisher deliberately “stirred up” issues between Meghan and her father, and that it had an “agenda” of publishing intrusive or offensive stories about her.

Those allegations should not form part of the duchess’s case at this stage, he said, because they were “irrelevant” to her claim for misuse of private information, copyright infringement and breach of the Data Protection Act.

Meghan Markle Thinks Hollywood Offers Are “Cheesy and Beneath Her,”

After moving to Hollywood recently with husband Harry, 35, Meghan has been inundated with offers left-and-right - and according to a source, she thinks that majority of them are “cheesy and beneath her!”  Meghan apparently wants a very specific kind of role for her acting comeback, and has “been telling her agents that she wants Ava DuVernay involved, and that they need to find the right script.”  The insider however thinks that Meghan is being totally delusional with her demands, and says: “Meghan is worried that she won’t be taken seriously as an actress.  Meghan has made it clear to her team that she will only work with A-list directors, but she doesn’t understand that this doesn’t necessarily mean they want to work with her.  This could end up being a very lengthy and tedious process because Meghan wants to control every aspect of whatever project she ends up doing. ”  Meghan and Harry have also been flooded with offers from Japan for commercials, with the source saying that “

How to tell if Queen Elizabeth is just not that into you

If you’re ever talking to  Queen Elizabeth and  she twists her wedding ring — watch out: she’s just not that into you and looking to escape. Being the Queen has its advantages, but one of the drawbacks is she has to constantly make small talk with many, many people and often gets stuck in rudderless conversations. At home in Buckingham Palace, it’s easy — the Queen has a discreet buzzer she presses when she’s ready for her guest to leave. But in public, it’s much more difficult. So she and her aides have come up with subtle and ingenious ways to keep her moving. A clue that the Queen is done chatting when she’s at a social event is that she’ll move her handbag to her other arm, which will bring over her handlers to take her away,  according to People magazine . “It would be done very nicely,” royal historian Hugo Vickers told the mag. “Someone would come along and say, ‘Sir, the Archbishop of Canterbury would very much like to meet yo

Tangier, the beautiful Moroccan city

Tanger, cité blanche qui, perchée sur une butte, surveille tous azimuts l’Europe et l’Afrique, l’Atlantique et la Méditerranée. Ville de tous les échanges, polyculturelle, premier port d’Afrique, porte d’entrée d’un monde d’exotisme pour des générations de peintres et d’écrivains en mal d’inspiration. Nous avions découvert Tanger mystérieuse et mélancolique dans le film  Only lovers left alive , puis l’avions admirée, magique et envoûtante, sur des photographies. Enfin, après plusieurs années à rêver d’elle, nous voilà à sa porte. Nous choisissons de loger au cœur de la médina afin de mieux nous perdre dans l’ambiance intemporelle de ses ruelles. Nous perdre… c’est le cas de le dire. Chaque fois que nous sortons, nous nous emmêlons les pinceaux.
