THE Duchess of Sussex has emerged victorious from her privacy battle with the Mail on Sunday despite last-minute bombshells from a former key aide.
Meghan, 40, sued the publisher of the Mail on Sunday and MailOnline over articles featuring extracts of a handwritten five-page note she sent to her father, Thomas Markle, in August 2018. Earlier this year a judge dismissed the case of Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) and concluded Meghan should be awarded damages, and Court of Appeal judges today backed that decision despite a fightback from the media group.
After her win, Meghan, right, said today: “This is a victory not just for me, but for anyone who has ever felt scared to stand up for what’s right.”
