Royal Family News: Meghan Markle Could Change The British Rule Of Law

British royal family news reveals that a blockbuster court decision may lead to a change in the law in order to protect free speech. The stunning news comes after the Appeal Court handed Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, a win in a privacy case brought against The Mail on Sunday.

After the shocking decision was announced, government ministers stated they would examine the ruling which upheld the High Court’s previous decision that Meghan had a, “reasonable expectation of privacy,” as it pertained to the contents of a letter she wrote to her estranged father Thomas Markle.

Senior government officials told the Daily Mail that there may need to be a change in the law, “to redress the balance between the competing rights of privacy and free speech.”

According to the Daily Mail, legal experts say that the case, “could have a chilling effect on free speech.”

The outlet reported that an unidentified Cabinet minister said that, “judges in the case appeared to have gone far beyond what Parliament intended when including a right to a private life in the Human Rights Act – and given too little weight to the right to freedom of expression, which is also incorporated in law.”

The source added that, “The judges have created a privacy law which Parliament never voted for. MPs never agreed a privacy law because they knew it would be used by the rich and famous to cover up their misdeeds.”

According to the alarmed insider, “The balance between privacy and free speech is clearly wrong. If this is what the law says then it needs to change. It feels like we have had judge-invented law. It draws on laws passed by Parliament but it is not what Parliament ever intended and we should correct that.”

The insider is not alone in voicing concern over the ruling. Asked about the decision, a Downing Street spokesman told reporters, “We will study the implications of the judgment carefully.”

The source drove home the point by saying, “You have heard the Prime Minister say before that a free Press is one of the cornerstones of any democracy, and this Government recognizes the vital role that newspapers and the media play in holding people to account and shining a light on the issues which matter.”
