Meghan Markle Is Playing The ‘Female, Young Mother’ Card To Play Dirty In Her Lawsuit?

Meghan Markle is at it again, asking for special treatment while telling the world to suck it up. Today she issued an application for a High Court injunction that would keep quiet the names of her Five Friends who leaked gossip about her dad to People magazine.

Meghan revealed in legal papers that the five People sources are all female and “young mothers,” and she asked that their identities remain anonymous.

Meghan Wants Her Friends Protected But The Law Is The Law

The article is important because it is part of her privacy and copyright litigation against the Mail on Sunday. The article was the first to reveal parts of a letter that Meghan wrote to her estranged Thomas Markle.

The Mail On Sunday is saying that based on that leak and initial publication, they had a right to publish more of the letter’s contents in the Mail on Sunday.

But here’s the rub: Meghan is insisting that she had no clue that five people, on her behalf, would trot off to defend her to People. You be the judge.

Will The Five Friends Squeal On Meghan In court?

All five could be forced to testify under oath to the High Court in London next year–they will be asked to say under oath that Meghan had no idea what they were going to do. Aren’t you glad you’re not one of the Five Friends?

This is what Meghan’s injunction application says: “Associated Newspapers, the owner of The Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday, is threatening to publish the names of five women – five private citizens – who made a choice on their own to speak anonymously with a US media outlet more than a year ago, to defend me from the bullying behaviour of Britain’s tabloid media.”

“These five women are not on trial, and nor am I. The publisher of the Mail on Sunday is the one on trial. Each of these women is a private citizen, a young mother, and each has a basic right to privacy. These five women are not on trial, and nor am I. The publisher of the Mail on Sunday is the one on trial.”

Besides the awful grammar, Meghan’s words are curious in that they seem to try and paint female, young mothers as a protected class. What happened to all that empowerment enthusiasm? She’s set to speak to a Girl Up Leadership Summit this month, is she going to tell them that they, too, like her Five Friends, should hide from their actions instead of facing the consequences?
