Last modified on Sep 29, 2020 16:58 BST Danielle Stacey The Duchess of Sussex is suing Associated Newspapers Ltd over publication of a"private and confidential letter" she sent to her estranged father Thomas Markle in August 2018. A judge has ruled that the Mail on Sunday can rely on a recent royal biography of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in its defence to Meghan's High Court privacy claim over the publication of a letter to her estranged father.
Ruling on ANL's application on Tuesday, Judge Francesca Kaye allowed the publisher to amend its defence to rely on Finding Freedom.Loading the player... The judge said the amended defence did not raise"new defences", but simply added"further particulars" of ANL's case. The barrister said the"inherent improbability" of Meghan having co-operated with the authors of the biography could be demonstrated by"simply comparing what the defendant's own articles said with what the book said about the letter" to her estranged father.
"The Mail has been allowed to prolong this action and try contending its amended defence at trial, where we have no doubt it will fail. This defence has no merit and is in fact false.

Jessie Bowhill, who also represents the Duchess, said:"The overall total costs figures are £1,798,043.57 for the claimant and £1,230,425 for the defendant."
