Judge gives summary judgment in favour of royal over extracts of letter by estranged father, Thomas Markle
The Duchess of Sussex has won her privacy case against the Mail on Sunday after a judge gave summary judgment in her favour over the newspaper publishing extracts of a private letter to her estranged father, Thomas Markle.
Meghan’s lawyer had argued that the newspaper’s publishers, Associated Newspapers Ltd, had “no prospect” of defending her claims for misuse of private information and alleged breach of copyright. They argued her case was so strong a trial was unnecessary on those parts of her claim.
