A lawsuit was filed in 2019 by Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, after The Mail on Sunday obtained a letter from Markle to his father, Thomas Markle, and posted five articles on The Mail on Sunday and The MailOnline on the subject.
Markle said that publishing these articles infringed his copyright and invaded his privacy.
The high court judge, Lord Justice Warby, agreed with the royal couple’s claim that the publication infringed Markle’s rights, and now Associated Newspapers must announce his loss on the front page of The Mail on Sunday and have a statement about it on The MailOnline for a week with a hyperlink showing the full trial of the court, The Guardian reported.
Markle wanted the online testimony to be valid for six months, but the judge denied the request.
The associate newspaper can request an appeal of the decision directly to the appeals court, The Guardian reported, although Warby does not believe the outcome will be any different.
The judge says yes “I do not believe that there is any real prospect that the appellate court will reach a different conclusion as to the outcome of the complaint for the misuse of private information, or as to the issues I have decided in the copyright complaint. “
