The Duchess of Sussex has accused a tabloid newspaper of publishing lies, including claims she bought a £5,000 copper bath and spent £500,000 on sound-proofing her Windsor home.
Documents lodged at the High Court are said to accuse The Mail on Sunday of exploiting her father, Thomas Markle, and making false claims about her baby shower and her relationship with Doria Ragland, her mother.
According to the Byline Investigates website, the Duchess accuses The Mail newspapers of a three-year campaign against her, listing what an extensive list of “false” and “absurd” stories.
They reportedly included claims the Duke and Duchess “splashed out £5,000” on a copper bathtub and “forked out £500k” on sound-proofing to block out the noise of aeroplanes from Heathrow.
Suggestions the couple installed a yoga studio, an orangery, a tennis court and a “guest wing” for Ms Ragland are also said to be untrue.
