Meghan Markle got some bad news today when a judge tossed out some major aspects of her case as she continues to sue The Mail and its parent company Associated Newspapers for publishing a letter she wrote to her father that she claims was private.

Daily Mail reported that a top judge ruled on Friday that large parts of Meghan’s case were “irrelevant,” “inadequate” and “impermissibly vague.” The claims of hers that Mr. Justice Warby “struck out” included that the media had a malicious “agenda” against her and that the press had created a rift between her and her father Thomas by “digging up dirt” to portray Meghan in a “negative light.”

Mark Stephens, a partner at Howard Kennedy, described today’s rulings as an “absolute victory” for The Mail, saying that the judge threw out “significant ill-advised parts of her claim.”

“For Meghan this judgment is a like a train ploughing into a petrol tanker on a level crossing,” he explained. “It is a complete disaster. She’s been humiliated today. Every complaint by Associated Newspapers has been completely and utterly vindicated by the judge.”

Stephens added that numerous top lawyers had gone through Meghan‘s case and concluded that “there was no chance of her winning,” adding she was either “poorly advised” or disregarded warnings in going through with it.

“She would be well advised to settle and walk away,” he said. “If it goes to trial the evidence of Meghan and her father Thomas about the letter and their rift would be examined under oath. If she is going to be humiliated in person there will be no worse outcome for her.”

This comes after the judge threw out multiple aspects of Meghan’s case as “irrelevant.”

“I do not consider the allegations in question go to the heart of the case,” he said. “I have struck out all the passages attacked in the application notice. Some of the allegations are struck out as irrelevant to the purpose for which they are pleaded. Some are struck out on the further or alternative ground that they are inadequately detailed. I have also acted so as to confine the case to what is reasonably necessary and proportionate for the purpose of doing justice between these parties.”
