The Duke of Sussex says that his wife Meghan Markle would have been subjected to some horrific personal attacks in the hopes that he personally would back down from his legal case against the British tabloids.

Because if it doesn’t, that’s perjury and that’s a criminal offense, and everyone should be held to account before the law – no one should be treated any differently.” […]
I wonder if Prince Harry is aware that Meghan Markle sought out the company of Mr Morgan, when she was looking for a British boyfriend? They had been drinking buddies until she got someone to hook her up with Prince Harry! The rest is common knowledge! She got the date, followed up by the Royal Wedding, took all she needed and then absconded with Harry and his son! My email address is correct as you can see from my many posts
