Meghan Markle, fired her lawyer, David Sherborn, who represented her in her lawsuit against the Mail on Sunday. At the upcoming hearings, one of her main rivals, Justin Rushbrooke QC, will defend the Duchess of Sussex.
Change of strategy. Meghan Markle has fired David Sherborne, the lawyer who represented her in her legal battle against the Mail on Sunday, report our colleagues in The Sun. The famous lawyer who counted among his most famous clients Lady Diana, the Princess of Wales, or more recently the actor Johnny Depp, opposed to his ex-wife Amber Heard during a very mediatized trial, will not defend any more the wife of Prince Harry. From this Monday, September 21st, it is Justin Rushbrooke QC, one of his rivals, who will represent the Duchess of Sussex at the next hearings.
Last May, Master Sherborne lost the first preliminary hearing. Meghan Markle was ordered to pay the newspaper more than 70,000 euros in legal costs. A failure which pushed the mother of little Archie to separate herself from her famous counsel.
According to the Times, within the legal circles, it is whispered that the Duchess of Sussex would have acted in solidarity with Amber Heard who accuses her ex-husband Johnny Depp of domestic violence . But sources quickly denied this rumor.
As a reminder, the former actress of the Suits series is suing Associated Newspapers Limited for an article that revealed in part a handwritten letter sent to her father Thomas Markle in August 2018, with whom she has been on the outskirts for months. Highly upset, the Duchess of Sussex is seeking damages for alleged misuse of private information, copyright infringement, and violation of the Data Protection Act.
