London: Meghan, the wife of Britain’s Prince Harry, has asked a London court to delay the trial of her privacy action against a British tabloid after a judge ruled the paper could amend its case to include details from a recently published biography.
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is suing Associated Newspapers over articles in the Mail on Sunday that included parts of a handwritten letter she had sent to her estranged father, Thomas Markle, in August 2018.

Last month, the Mail successfully applied for permission to amend its case, arguing that the couple had co-operated with a biography about them, Finding Freedom, which was published in August.
A hearing to consider costs and case-management issues was due to take place on Thursday ahead of a trial in January.
