    Or he's a spoilt brat, can't cope with not being top of the tree any more, deeply in love with a slightly delusional American actress who's leading himn astray...

    Or he's genuinely wanting to make a difference but too naïve and too insular to understand what a mess he's making of things...

    Or he's been badly damaged by Diana's story...

    Or he is panicking that his own legacy is not enough to live on in the way he's used to living...


    Pick one. Or more. Personally I could care less. As, I suspect, does the Royal Family.

    Had no idea she was playing Mrs Thatcher in The Crown until someone told me afterwards. Completely unrecognisable. Played with aplomb, I might add.

    Two, if they get the weather forecast right...

    You can buy a book that becomes your property, but that does not automatically confer rights to print it in order to sell your own stuff.

    Tenuous argument in this case - she isn't making money from letter so breaching her "copyright" resulted in what losses? Yeah sure, breach and she wins £1, minus legal fees for bringing idiotic lawsuit. Now that's how system supposed to work...

    Exactly! If Meghan sent a letter to her father then on receipt it became his property surely, and no longer something whose publication she had any rightful (legal) say in (although ethically his publication of it may be different)

    started a topic The Fail

    The Fail



    They should have made all the phone hacking papers to do that.

    https://news.sky.com/story/mail-on-s...rules-12236810

    The Mail On Sunday (MoS) has been ordered by the High Court to publish a front-page statement about the Duchess of Sussex's legal victory against the newspaper last month.

    Meghan won her copyright claim over its publication of a letter she sent to her estranged father, with a judge ruling that she "had a reasonable expectation that the contents of the letter would remain private".

    Friday's ruling said that the newspaper must print a further notice about the outcome of the case in its inside pages.
