The Duchess of Sussex sued the Mail On Sunday newspaper in 2019 after the outlet published fragments of a personal letter that Meghan sent her father Thomas Markle. The content of the letter reflected the sadness of the duchess after her father sold some photographs to the press.
At the time, Meghan declared that she was very careful with the words she wrote in the letter, fearing that somehow the information would be leaked, her suspicion was confirmed when she found out what the British newspaper had done. The case went to trial and led to a lawsuit requiring the editor of the Mail on Sunday to pay £ 450,000 (about $ 599,467). to Prince Harry’s wife.
But in addition to the deposit, the London High Court ruled that The Mail On Sunday should print a lengthy notice under the title “The Duchess of Sussex” detailing her legal guilt. However, the act had been pending, but it was a few days ago that the newspaper finally accepted what had happened and published an apology on the front page of the newspaper.
“This is a victory not only for me, but for anyone who has ever been afraid to stand up for what is right. “declared Markle after the newspaper’s public apology, adding: “While this victory sets a precedent, what matters most is that now we are collectively brave enough to reshape a tabloid industry that conditions people to be cruel and profits from the lies and pain they create. “
