What do you think about the suit? https://sussexofficial.uk/
Not much appears to be going on. Living Legends came and went without fanfare ... what's the next event? Super Bowl - Sunday February 11th? Oscar's - March 10th? In the mean time, some things are still rolling along in various starts and stops like Samantha's law suit. Or tax season is about to begin in the US. The IRS just never goes away. Nor do bills (utility, cable, mortgage, food, cars, security, landscape people, cleaning people, koi person and so on). There's always another one. Elsewhere others just continue to glide forward without a real hint of being disrupted by some news out of California. That would be the new King and Queen or the Prince/Princess of Wales. Yes there are health risks which seemed to come out of nowhere. But. The difference is that these people are calmly living their lives with minimal drama.

Has anyone seen an actual copy of the lawsuit filed? Come on, if the US press could get copies of Mueller's affidavits, surely the British press could lay hands on one if it exists. I'm with Veema (an actual lawyer) on this. Until we see the court papers, this is just blowing smoke. We've all noted that the overwrought language sounds like Megs, not Harry. The whole statement sounds like a disorganized hissy fit. Megs has a bullying history of her own, she doxxes anyone she can. Competent lawyers cost the earth. Who's ponying up for this 'lawsuit?' I doubt if it's the RF.
Awkward timing does make it likely they're trying to head something off at the pass. Can't wait to find out what it is.
I completely agree with other commentators here that the negativity is largely made by DM readers and not in the articles (people aren't stupid or restrained by journalistic rules) .
I'd go further though, i think she actually gets off so light with the press for how transparently odious her behaviour is.
The British press could be so much less gracious, especially within likely confines of an existing superinjunction about Rachel's yachting days, where banished friends of Harry's like Tom Inskip crossed paths with her and tried to warn him. Just like the justifiable press about her woke hypocrisy and high spending ways, MM pushed Harry to blind himself to fact and declare it lies.
Most who had such morally questionable pasts would thank whatever deity that there are saccharine, diabetes-inducing articles trying to be positive about her in the DM at all and I hope her suit destroys that good will.
If she were smart she'd be grateful and keep quiet, but her narcissism won't allow her to. I keep thinking how much more rope does she need and dear LORD I hope this is the breaking point with the press. But it seemingly never comes and it's hard to hold one's breath.
Whether the case is won or lost, this it is a win for Meghan. If she loses, she will use it as evidence to Harry that the move to LA is necessary, like she wanted all along, as she is so unfairly maligned in the UK (*little violin plays*).
She is alienating him from his family, his friends, his country and himself. The shame of it all is when it falls apart MM will have done irreparable damage to Harry, who will have been manipulated into letting his name be used to call the public too many names to be taken back into hearts of many.
With people like MM you are with her or against her, a cowardly "silent witness" to her faux-victimhood or declaring War on her perceived injustices.
The legal person said, Thomas Markle owns the letter and can show it to who he wants, but Meghan owns the words (the copyright) and they (the words) can’t be published. However, they both stated if Harry had just mentioned about the letter etc., in his statement, he’d have a case, a far better one overall. But bringing up all the other stuff could go against them, in a far bigger way regarding his and Meghan’s relationship with the press as a whole.
Sadly, bullying is now being overused and much like her cries of racism, it's beginning to lose all meaning. I do not see her treatment by the media, or any of us, as bullying. Her actions and behavior have created this backlash from everyone, so she has only herself to blame. It would be bullying if she were doing nothing wrong and yet received such hatred in return.....much like the treatment Kate received since she married William. Where was Harry when his sister-in-law was receiving such vitriolic press? I didn't see him writing letters about her treatment.
They MAY win this lawsuit, but they've lost all positive press they received from this tour. As many on here have stated, I would also be on board with an EMBARGO on any future press on them. Leave them alone. That's all they want, so let's give it to them.
Oh, my, I should like to politely rebut that. Where to start, where to start...okay, making one foamy mocha latte with a little cayenne pepper mixed in will be a good starting point for me. Aaaaaah. Morning suddenly became much better.
Okay, that entire pregnancy bump thing was a major annoyance. Of COURSE people were going to comment on it. They weren't blind. If anything, I thought the papers were far too reticent about the changing bump size, the shifting location, how it sometimes looked just like a pillow, how it would fold when she sat, how she would CONSTANTLY draw attention to it by cradling it, pulling her jacket aside so it could be photographed, etc. I've never seen crazy like that before in my life. That bump debacle was completely self-created on her part. That "bump" was going to be in line for the throne IF she were actually carrying him. The public has every right to question an ever-changing bump because if she isn't carrying him, he's not a rightful heir. It seems to me that that would be important to the UK citizens.
I also thought that the press was doing an over-the-top job of protecting her image by mostly NOT showing the messy, unfitted, unhemmed garments (that allegedly cost the British public lots of money) that she was wearing for public appearances. The British public were/are paying for those garments and her appearances (unless it is true that she has been cut off the public teat).

My take on what was said and being said by a lot of others (legal and press) is that The Sussex’s need the media on their side. Harry has taken a grenade against all of the press, instead of just keeping it about publishing parts of Meghan’s letter.
Looks like the Dumbartons and MoS (different legal entity from DM, as it turns out) already failed to settle out of court, so MoS must believe they've a solid enough case to either win or settle for much less than The Claw tried to win in this legal smash-and-grab.
What’s disturbing about this is that Meghan is playing on Harry’s emotions from his mother’s death by gouging open any healing that may have taken place for Harry in the years since she died. As a young boy, Harry couldn’t save Diana. I the inability to protect his mother is likely a key part of Harry’s wounds and anger issues.
Meghan is cruelly reopening his wounds to the fullest by playing damsel in distress so Harry can rescue and protect the fragile little Flower Meghan as a substitute for his mother. Meghan knows it is a weakness, so she exploits it to the hilt for herself.
I will never forgive her for causing Diana so much suffering, but as the years have passed, I have seen the good qualities she possesses and her kindness with children and elderly.
Evey Christmas she invites special needs children to Clarence House to decorate thier tree, and easily and happily interacts and entertains a large group of them.
It is not fake and she has a genuine goodness, that Smeggy can only try to copy, but because of her emptiness will never succeed.
I say preemptive because she wants to distract and deflect the H&R baby clothes ad and marching at the poor murdered girl's memorial.
Next is because Samantha is about to publish her book and after Meg's not letting Tom Markle see Archie, he's had enough and has given Sam his blessing. Meg's announced the lawsuit to distract before wheels down in UK. It also gives the Sussex' an excuse to escape into their bubble when they get back from SA. That way they won't have to do any public royal outings because you know, safety and security... unless of course she wants to merch more of Archie. Then it will all be "secret" and "surprise!"
Megs' behavior is a lot like the Scandal character Olivia Pope. She has to rule over others; she has to be the commander.

oh my, hells yes! @SwampWoman, I truly love your response ❤️.

Agreed.
ok ok, onto the next Nutty post. :)
