Meghan Markle to Receive Apology From Tabloid Who Printed Private Letter to Her Dad
Meghan Markle will be receiving a front-page apology from a British newspaper for printing a section of a private letter she sent to her dad, Thomas Markle.
The decision comes after a High Court in London ruled that the Mail on Sunday and the MailOnline breached Markle’s privacy by sharing the letter publicly in 2019.
People reports that Judge Mark Warby ordered the tabloid to publish a front-page apology in the Mail on Sunday to Markle.
“The Duchess of Sussex wins her legal case for copyright infringement against Associated Newspapers for articles published in The Mail on Sunday and posted on Mail Online – see page 3,” his statement said.
“Associated Newspapers infringed her (Meghan’s) copyright by publishing extracts of her handwritten letter to her father in The Mail on Sunday and in Mail Online.”
This apology will remain on the home page of MailOnline “for a period of one week” and include a link to the judgment and summary under the wording, “The full judgment and the Court’s summary of it can be found here.”
The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday will also be paying 90% of Markle’s legal fees.
