'If you tell the truth,' Mark Twain once observed, 'you don't have to remember anything.'
I thought of this incontrovertible truism today when news broke that Meghan Markle had 'won' her privacy court battle with the Mail on Sunday.
Her victory response was issued within seconds, on regal notepaper adorned with a gold 'M' under a golden crown, and headlined: 'Statement from Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.'
excerpt:
Let's be very clear about exactly what Meghan 'won' today.
The Court of Appeal decided the Mail on Sunday was not entitled to publish quite as much of her letter to her estranged father Thomas Markle's as the newspaper did.
Had they run less of it, the judges said, the Mail would have been OK.
So, she won on a point about precisely how many of her words were permissible to be reported, assuming the letter was indeed private, surely an issue for trial.
(To be precise, 585 words from a 1,250-word letter was deemed too much.)
