Meghan apologises to court for misleading statement in privacy case - BBC News

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has apologised to a court for forgetting about biography briefing notes she gave to an aide, in her privacy case against the Mail on Sunday's publishers.

The Appeal Court heard she had asked an aide to pass on information to the authors of a biography - despite having earlier said she "did not contribute” to the work.

Meghan said she had forgotten the events and had not intended to mislead.

Associated Newspapers is trying to overturn a ruling after it published a letter from the duchess to her father.

Meghan, 40, won her privacy case against the publisher of the Mail on Sunday earlier this year, when the High Court found its publication of the letter was unlawful.

Ummm, misleading? Please call it what it is: lying. She lied to the court.

[kamalsood]

What about apologising to the Queen for the lies on Oprah interview..

[debshaw]

When I had a miscarriage on a city bus, I spent one night in hospital and right back to work. Oddly enough it didn’t make me lie to a court. Or anyone else. I was supposed to avoid stress but you know, the tax payers aren’t paying people to wait on me hand and foot. She lied to the court and should be charged accordingly. I’m sick of justice only being for the poor.

The whole case, which SHE started, was about her intents and what part she played. How can she says she forgot? She manipulates and lies.. Hopefully the courts sees through her lies.

[sherylhill]

She doesn’t do anything unintentional. She’s still lying. Good grief!

[XxxX-wxer]

Meghan literally wrote the entire book.. and she wrote that letter with the very intention for it to be released.

[cayea]

It turns out she more than lied and manipulated, she actually plotted and schemed the whole thing with both the letter and the book. What an unbelievable piece of work.

[afrikanheritage]

There's no apology in court of law. She must be punished just as anyone else that committed perjury.

[innerlight]

Apology not accepted...she very well knew what she was doing and i hope she doesn't think she's above the law 😡

[janicemcmahan]

Whaaaat !! Anyone else would be arrested for perjury.

[johncurrie]

She was told to avoid stress but she instigated this court case.

[solschwarz]

"I forgot... I didn't realize... I didn't know..."

Yeah, right.

[frepzzy]

I knew it! She’s always a serial Liar no one believed me before and called me racist

[reneeklopper]

She should apologise the Royals, Britains, her family for all her lies. When exactly did she speak the truth?

[VirtualFeats]

Everyone else: lies to court = prison
Princess: lies to court = another chapter in your book

[gailcullinan]

Apologies serve as formal admissions of guilt. This is a formal admission of guilt. Markle should be dealt with accordingly and prosecuted accordingly. Markle is a liar in plain sight. A gaslighting narcissist.

[ninaedwards]

She’s a liar and loses credibility. Who knows what else she’s lied about .

[Caocao]

It’s “misleading the court” only when one is royalty; for the rest of us, it’s “lying to the court.”

[cmtt]

Everything about her is misleading...just ask the queen and Prince was onto her from the very beginning....

[jillianmurphy]

So the unauthorized biography was actually completely authorized...
