It’s the ongoing legal battle, only rivalled in dedicated column inches this year by Johnny Depp’s very public tussle with The Sun.

She reportedly claims she sought advice about how to handle media coverage surrounding her father, Thomas Markle, before writing a private letter ‘in an attempt to get him to stop talking to the press’.
