The former Meghan Markle made the request ahead of a preliminary hearing on the case scheduled for Thursday, court documents said. The postponement application is the latest episode in the legal tussle that has served as a prelude to a 10-day trial scheduled to start in January. The request will be considered Thursday by High Court Judge Mark Warby during an online hearing that will begin in private. The newspaper published excerpts of a letter Meghan wrote to her father after her and Harry's wedding in May 2018.
