Prince William Is Threatening Lawsuits In America And Britain Over Cheating Scandal That Has Left Kate Middleton Very Upset

April 26. 2019

A scandal has been churning in Britain and made its way to Europe and America, among other places, regarding Prince William, 36, cheating on his wife, Kate Middleton, 37, with her best friend and neighbor, Rose Hanbury. The cheating is said to have occurred last year when Middleton was pregnant with their third child. Many gossip rags have carried the story, as have blogs, causing William and Kate a huge amount of embarrassment. Their image of the perfect life has been shattered and for all to see.

The couple first began dating in 2003 and wed in 2011, after Middleton waited for William to settle down, in what seemed like forever. The press and public mockingly branded her “Waity Katy.” Whereas, his brother, Prince Harry, 34, met and married his wife, Meghan Markle, 37, within two-years of first laying eyes on her.

The story is also making its way around social networking, among millions of people, with people slamming William over his alleged infidelity. Many have stated they are disappointed in him, as his father, Prince Charles, cheated on his mother, the late Princess Diana, now he is (allegedly) doing the same regarding his wife. Charles’ cheating damaged his wife and children on many levels. The cheating and ensuing scandal caused so much heartbreak. Princess Diana took it especially badly, which is understandable.

William’s stock is plummeting with this scandal. Middleton has been looking very upset and miffed during public appearances since the scandal broke, causing members of the public to speculate regarding the adultery claims. Recently, paparazzi caught the family on a day out with other members of the royal family, such as William’s cousin Zara Phillips (the Queen’s granddaughter), her husband Mike Tindall, and their children. Kate’s face was like thunder in the photos. She was very cold towards William and avoided him throughout the outing.

Acutely aware of the bad pres he is facing, William, via his attorneys (solicitors) in London, Harbottle and Lewis, have been firing off cease and desist letters, demanding publications such as In Touch magazine, refrain from running the adultery story in America. However, “the cat is out of the bag.” Stopping that story at this point is like trying to get the toothpaste back in the tube.

The way U.S. law works is one can report on a preexisting story already in the press without being successfully sued for it, depending upon the language you use. It is imperative that one uses the word “allegedly“ and makes clear it is not an exclusive story or one original to your outlet (newspaper, site, ect.). This language makes it difficult to sue a journalist or blogger for reporting on a story already in the public domain. In essence, you are re-reporting something published elsewhere.

Courts have ruled against litigants bringing libel, slander or defamation cases in such instances. However, if you originate a story that contains allegations that are not true, especially if written with willful malice, you can be successfully sued in U.S. courts, especially if the individual bringing the lawsuit has money to get the case heard.

In Britain it is much easier to sue for slander, libel or defamation. The court’s interpretation of the law is very simple and to the point. If you publish something that is proven to be untrue, you are causing injury to another person’s reputation and must pay financial damages. The damages are often substantial, in rulings meant to act as a deterrent to others, serving as a warning to refrain from similar libelous conduct.
