LONDON (Reuters) - Britains Prince Harry appealed to the father of his wife Meghan to call him in the days before he decided to pull out of the couples star-studded wedding two years ago, documents submitted to Londons High Court on Monday showed.

Meghan, Britains Duchess of Sussex, is suing Associated Newspapers , the publisher of the Mail on Sunday tabloid, for breaching her privacy by printing a letter she sent to her father, Thomas Markle, to address the rift between them caused by events on the eve of the wedding.

In a document filed at the High Court ahead of a hearing on Friday, Meghans lawyers said tabloid newspapers, particularly the Mail, had harassed and humiliated her father, contributed towards the fallout between them, and that the Mail had misquoted from the letter she sent him.

The papers include text messages from the prince to Meghans father that provide a rare insight into the personal lives of the royals, who fiercely guard their privacy.
