New court filings against British tabloid Mail On Sunday -- who published excerpts of a private, handwritten letter from Meghan Markle to her estranged father in 2018 -- suggest that Meghan felt 'unprotected' by the royal family, particularly throughout her pregnancy with baby Archie.
The [former] Duchess of Sussex shocked the world when she, alongside her husband Prince Harry, announced their departure from the monarchy earlier this year.
These new court documents detail the "tremendous emotional distress" she suffered as a result of the letter being published and subsequently being "prohibited from defending herself" by the royals.
