The Duchess of Sussex won her copyright claim against The Mail On Sunday after a former aide’s “unequivocal” denial that he helped write a letter to her estranged father rendered the newspaper’s case “unreal”, the High Court has ruled.
Meghan, 39, sued Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), which is also the publisher of Mail Online, over a series of articles that reproduced parts of a “personal and private” letter to Mr Markle, 76, in August 2018.
She claimed the five articles, published in print and online in February 2019, misused her private information, infringed her copyright and breached the Data Protection Act.
In February, the High Court granted Meghan summary judgment in relation to her privacy claim, meaning she won that part of the case without having to go to trial, as well as most of her copyright claim.
