Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, also won the rest of her copyright lawsuit over a letter to her father, which she filed against a British tabloid for publication, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.

A London court ruled in her favor after neither Queen Elizabeth II nor a former senior royal aide was heard, who claimed that Markle had full copyright in the letter sent to her father, with whom she had become estranged.

Megan, 39, is the wife of Elizabeth II’s grandson, Prince Harry. The Duchess filed and won the first part of the case against the tabloid “Mail on Sunday” in February, after the publication published without permission extensive parts of the letter sent by her to her father Thomas Markle in August 2018.

But now Judge Mark Warby had to decide whether Markle was the exclusive copyright holder of the correspondence, after the tabloid’s defense claimed that they belonged to the British throne.

The newspaper’s lawyers pointed out that the former communications secretary of Prince Harry and Megan Markle, Jason Nauf, was a co-author of the letter and therefore it belonged to the Crown. The court ruled that the defense’s arguments were unfounded.
