A legal hearing was also held that highlighted the ongoing controversy between Meghan Markle and the palace for their media policy. In documents obtained by an entertainment portal, Meghan’s legal team said that the actor was pregnant at the time and was unable to defend herself from the “hundreds of thousands of inaccurate articles”. The documents also mentioned that the Suits star was not aware that the contents would be revealed or let out to any media outlet. Meghan Markle also mentioned that if she knew about the content being released, she “would not have consented to this”.

Associated Newspapers have also taken a step towards the ongoing argument and have argued that the publication was justified. The publishing house says that their publication was justified because a close friend of Markle spoke about the letter in an entertainment magazine. The publishing house argues that the friend spoke about the letter 3 days before it was released by them. As a response, Meghan’s team released a statement that says that the Suits star had no idea about the existence of the interview.
