The Duchess of Sussex has won her copyright claim against the publisher of the Mail On Sunday over the publication of a handwritten letter to her estranged father.

The Duchess of Sussex’s handwritten letter to her estranged father does not belong to the Crown, lawyers acting on behalf of the Queen have told Meghan’s legal team.
At the latest hearing in the duchess’s case against the publisher of the Mail On Sunday, the High Court heard that lawyers representing “the Keeper of the Privy Purse, acting on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen” told Meghan’s solicitors they “did not consider the Crown to be the copyright owner”.
