Meghan Markle's estranged father Thomas has reportedly explained what led him to famously leak a private letter from his daughter to the press.
In 2019, Thomas, 76, allowed a private letter from his daughter to be published by the Mail on Sunday newspaper and on the MailOnline website after tension grew between himself and his daughter.
Meghan, 39, is now suing publisher Associated Newspapers for invasion of privacy and copyright infringement over the five articles that included portions of the handwritten letter.
Now, nearly two years after the publication of the correspondence, Thomas has explained exactly why he felt the need to make the letter public.
The former television lighting director said in court that he felt "vilified" by an article published by People magazine, according to a witness statement obtained by E! News.
"When I read the article 'The Truth About Meghan' in People magazine I was shocked by what it said about me," said the statement. "It was a total lie. It misrepresented the tone and content of the letter Meg had written me in August 2018 quickly decided I wanted to correct that misrepresentation."
