The Duchess of Sussex’s account of her upbringing in her Oprah interview was not meant to be “objective fact” but a subjective statement of her feelings, her own lawyers have argued in a defamation case brought by her estranged sister.
The Duchess’s description of how she “grew up as an only child” cannot be false because it is a “textbook example of a subjective statement about how a person feels about her childhood”, they say.
All most modern no doubt. Post-modern even.
Giving new meaning to “You made your bed now lie in it.”
Politicians and the media lie with impunity so it’s hardly surprising when modern day celebrities do the same.
In this context “subjectivity” is a one-way privilege, particularly where the British courts are concerned, as the sister will quickly discover should she ever dare to put pen to paper about her childhood.
What a pity John. I was waiting with bated breath for the revelation that Meghan was a bitch on wheels.
But perhaps you’d argue that this was already glaringly obvious?
She’s just living her own truth.
I think she’s going for a defence of insanity.
Reminds me of those Jewish concentration camp “survivors” who got caught lying years later.
“It was real in my mind”
“It was my truth”
“It all felt real to me”
Objective fact = the truth.
Subjective fact = my truth.
Subjective trumps the objective nowadays:it’s all about feelings… how I feel – me,me,me,me!
So Feelings=Facts now?
Of course the left have to support this, because the whole of trannydom relies on it…
I’d be intrigued to hear her butler’s views…
It’s entirely possible she grew up as an only child without actually being one. She has a half-brother and a half-sister (same father). But her parents separated when she was two, so it’s entirely possible that she did not grow up with them and had fairly little contact.
Apparently she claims to be black, too.
