In one, dated 22 August 2018, Meghan sent Knauf a draft of the letter she proposed to send to her father.
She added: “The catalyst for my doing this is seeing how much pain this is causing H. Even after a week with his dad and endlessly explaining the situation, his family seem to forget the context – and revert to, ‘can’t she just go and see him and make this stop?’ They fundamentally don’t understand, so at least by writing H will be able to say to his family … ‘she wrote him a letter and he’s still doing it’.
Emails released by the court of appeal include details of Knauf’s planned meeting with the authors.
