Meghan Markle speculated that referring to her estranged father as “daddy” in a letter to him would “pull at the heartstrings” in the “unfortunate event” that it was leaked, the Court of Appeal has heard.

Jason Knauf, who was communications secretary to Meghan and Harry until March 2019, has said the handwritten letter to Thomas Markle was written with the “understanding” that it could be leaked to the media.
