A British judge has ruled that Meghan Markle can keep her friends’ names secret while she brings a privacy-invasion lawsuit against a British tabloid.
A British judge ruled Wednesday that the former Meghan Markle, who is now the Duchess of Sussex, can keep the names of five close friends secret while she brings a privacy-invasion lawsuit against a British newspaper — but he chided both sides in the case for playing out their battle in the media as well as the courtroom.
The duchess, 39, is seeking damages from publisher Associated Newspapers for alleged misuse of private information, copyright infringement and data-protection breaches.The duchess asked the judge to prohibit publishing details of female friends who spoke anonymously to People magazine to condemn the alleged bullying she had received from the media. She argued that the friends were not parties to the case and had a “basic right to privacy.
The judge acknowledged that he had to balance “the competing demands of confidentiality and open justice.”Warby ruled in favor of anonymity, saying it would serve justice by shielding Markle’s friends from the “glare of publicity” in the pretrial stage of the case. The judge said that, in pretrial wrangling, each side had “overstated its case” and made “hyperbolic assertions” about the other. “Neither side has, so far, been willing to confine the presentation of its case to the courtroom,” Warby said.“Both sides have demonstrated an eagerness to play out the merits of their dispute in public, outside the courtroom, primarily in media reports,” he added.
