Markle Wins Privacy Fight With Tabloid Over Letter to Father

Meghan Markle won her lawsuit against a British tabloid over its publication of a letter she wrote to her father, setting a new U.K. precedent about the press’s ability to publish private correspondence.

London Judge Mark Warby ruled in the Duchess of Sussex’s favor, ending the majority of the case without a trial. If she’d lost, several high-profile figures would have testified in court about her private life.

Markle, 39, sued the paper over a series of articles which printed excerpts of the handwritten letter sent to Thomas Markle in August 2018, which showed the apparent breakdown of the relationship between the pair.
