I'm hanging onto the hope that this judge is a wily old bird and he wants what we want and knows how to get it and that his words "for the time being at least" were carefully chosen and highly significant.PA is saying this is a 'WIN' for Meghan.... we might need @antinoos help to understand what is going on here!
ETA I think this is good news in a way. There's no reason for her to pull out using her friends' privacy as an excuse...
If this means that any and all witnesses will be named in the usual way when the case comes to trial, she hasn't 'won' anything really but the spin will be hard and heavy today.Well she did "win" this round but will she win the war? There's no excuse now for dropping this case. And public disgust with super injunctions and the like is pretty high when the protect the wealthy and powerful from consequences.
Doesn’t this set a precedent for future, more serious cases if she gets her way? We need @antinoos on this one.If this means that any and all witnesses will be named in the usual way when the case comes to trial, she hasn't 'won' anything really but the spin will be hard and heavy today.
The written judgement should appear here https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/ later today.
Getting the strong feeling that Warby wants Snarkle's machinations to be forced into the light "necessary in the interests of the administration of justice."The key bit from the Telegraph.
High Court judge criticises Meghan Markle and newspaper over 'tit-for-tat' publicity campaigns
Remarks come as Duchess of Sussex wins right to keep friends' names private in latest legal skirmishwww.telegraph.co.uk
The High Court has ruled in favour of the Duchess of Sussex to keep secret the identities of five friends who gave an anonymous interview to a US magazine, in the latest stage of her legal action against a British newspaper.
Mr Justice Warby delivered his ruling on the Duchess's application at 10.30am on Wednesday.
He said: "I have concluded that for the time being at least the Court should grant the claimant the orders she seeks, the effect of which will be to confer protection on the sources’ identities.
"That is confidential information, the protection of which at this stage is necessary in the interests of the administration of justice. This is an interim decision."
The Duchess of Sussex is suing Associated Newspapers (ANL), publisher of the Mail On Sunday and MailOnline, over an article which reproduced parts of a "private and confidential" handwritten letter she sent to her estranged father, Thomas Markle, 76, in August 2018.
..................................
So Justice Warby says 'for the time being at least' and 'at this stage' so I think that's good enough for me... Very, very cleverly done I think.
I do think that Meghan could be a few years older than she claims, but her birth certificate says she was born in 1981.
We all know that Meghan has fabricated her CV (and her mother's) to complete fiction levels but I don't know if it's really possible to fake or change a birth certificate.
Then again I'm guessing that the majority of people contributing to this thread aren't master criminals. We are all poor innocents compared to grifter Megatron.
You can tell from her eyes and facial expression that she was going to be the kind of little a**hole who would end up in the press.View attachment 202468
If you look at her sexist washing up liquid campaign, in 1993, she was 11, nearly 12.
They filmed a news report at school with other children. She does look very young, like a child and not a teenager, 11 or 12 seems to be quite accurate. Would the school, the news team, and I presume her Dad who was her sole parent at the time, that got involved with the press, have been agreeing to lie about her age... it seems unlikely. Some people claim she is 5 or 6 years older than she is - that would put her at 16 or 17 at the time of the advert story!
annoyingly precocious childYou can tell from her eyes and facial expression that she was going to be the kind of little a**hole who would end up in the press.

I can’t be doing with precocious, over confident kids. We have two next door, always ballet dancing and posing, shouting ‘look at me’ while their parents smile indulgently and make me watch their precious little offspring show off. I smile politely and inside I’m screaming ‘just fuck off’.annoyingly precocious child
