Meghan Markle Wrote Her Dad A Letter With 'Public Consumption in Mind,' Court Docs Claim

New evidence showed that Meghan Markle may have lied about her claims in the past, throwing doubt on her integrity.

On Tuesday, a Court of Appeal hearing (via Cosmopolitan) said that the Duchess of Sussex's handwritten letter to her her father, Thomas Markle, was private and for his eyes only might have been proven false. This is after she sent an SMS to a royal aide who revealed that she prepared the letter with "public consumption in mind."

According to an online tabloid, evidence from former Kensington Palace communications chief Jason Knauf contradicted Meghan's denials that she collaborated with the authors of their unofficial biography, "Finding Freedom." The said memoir sparked a new round of revelations about her and her husband, Prince Harry's strained relationship with the British royal family.

The proprietors of the Mail on Sunday and Mail Online have appealed a High Court finding that passages from the former "Suits" star's 2018 letter were published in a "unlawful" manner.

After her estranged father suffered a heart attack and was unable to attend their 2018 royal wedding, the 40-year-old Duchess of Cornwall successfully sued the two magazines for printing parts of a handwritten letter she claimed was private correspondence written to him.

The publisher informed the London Court of Appeal that there is more evidence, with Andrew Caldecott QC advising the justices that the evidence is in the form of Knauf texts.

He also argued that the estranged father had the right to reveal what his daughter said in the letter to "address some lies" in an article published in People magazine a few days before Daily Mail published the letter.

Five unidentified associates of the Duchess of Sussex spoke about her relationship with her father and the royal family in considerable detail in a People magazine article.

According to the publisher's counsel, Meghan Markle's privacy suit should have gone to trial.

The former royal's claim was "diminished and overwhelmed" by her father's right to reply after People magazine published "false and fraudulent" allegations, Caldecott told the Court of Appeal.

"The claimant's letter and the People article both make allegations against Mr. Markle of cruelly cold-shouldering the claimant in the pre-wedding period... The article, or its gist, was reported worldwide."

It added: "The claimant's letter and the People article both make allegations against Mr. Markle of cruelly cold-shouldering the claimant in the pre-wedding period... The article, or its gist, was reported worldwide."

In his evidence, Knauff also claims that he believes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle worked closely with Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, the authors of "Finding Freedom."

"At or about the same time as the People article appeared, the claimant cooperated with the authors of a book, later entitled Finding Freedom, through her communications secretary Jason Knauf in Autumn and Winter 2018," the court papers said.
