Before she stepped down from the royal family, Meghan filed a lawsuit against Associated Newspapers Limited — which owns the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday — and accused the company of running a three-year campaign of fabricated stories against her. She won the case in 2021. That same year, Meghan said tabloids should come with a "warning label like cigarettes do." She also told Oprah Winfrey that the constant negative press coverage caused her to have suicidal thoughts.
"The press always likes to choose their favorites, they like to choose their villains," Meinzer told Insider. "They choose their sides and they've definitely made Meghan the villain of the moment. Sometimes that moment lasts for years. Hopefully it won't last for decades."
