Meghan Markle finds herself in the spotlight once again after Piers Morgan launched a scathing attack on her, reigniting their feud that led to his departure from Good Morning Britain eight months ago.
The former host did not hold back as he criticized the Duchess of Sussex following her recent apology to the Court of Appeal amidst a contentious legal dispute with a British newspaper.
In a surprising turn of events, Meghan publicly admitted to failing to disclose emails revealing her involvement in shaping a biography about herself and Prince Harry.
She expressed regret for the oversight, clarifying that there was no deliberate attempt to mislead the court.
This revelation comes after persistent denials from the Sussexes regarding any collaboration with authors Omid Scobie and Carol Anne Durand on their book, Finding Freedom.
The apology emerged as part of Meghan’s ongoing legal battle against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), the publisher of The Mail on Sunday, over the publication of a private letter she sent to her father in 2018.
Despite winning a privacy claim earlier this year, ANL is contesting the ruling and pushing for a trial to be held, challenging the court’s decision that the disclosures were excessive and unlawful.
Former communications secretary to Meghan and Harry, Jason Knauf, disclosed that discussions about the book took place regularly and involved direct input from the Duchess herself.
Knauf revealed that Meghan provided key points for the authors to consider and had multiple interactions with Harry on the matter.
Notably, Harry emphasized the importance of distancing themselves from the book’s contents, emphasizing the need for clarity and accuracy in their responses.
Meghan acknowledged Knauf’s involvement in sharing information with the authors, attributing it to his role as communications secretary and expressing regret for not recalling these exchanges earlier.
She clarified that her pregnancy at the time, coupled with health challenges following a miscarriage, impacted her ability to fully engage with the litigation process, leading to the oversight.
Piers Morgan took to social media to reaffirm his skepticism towards Meghan’s actions, citing her alleged exploitation of royal titles for financial gain while tarnishing the reputation of the royal family.
His comments underscore the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Meghan and Harry’s public image, with debates intensifying over the couple’s approach to balancing personal endeavors with their royal connections.
As the legal saga continues to unfold, Meghan’s apology has sparked further debate and speculation about the intricacies of her involvement in the biography and the implications for her ongoing legal battles.
The revelations have reignited public interest in the dynamics between the Sussexes and the media, shedding light on the complexities of their interactions and the challenges they face in navigating their public personas.
