Duchess Meghan has achieved a significant partial success in the legal dispute with the publisher "Mail on Sunday".
A court in London granted the 39-year-old's request to shorten the proceedings on Thursday.
In addition, the judge followed the view of Meghan's lawyers, according to which her personal rights were violated by the partial publication of a letter to her father.
"The plaintiff had the understandable expectation that the contents of the letter would remain private," said the court's decision on Thursday.
The newspaper prevented this.
The court has not yet made a final decision on the question of whether Meghan's copyrights were also affected by the publication of the letter.
Although the judge saw a violation of the law as a given, it still has to be clarified whether Meghan was the sole author of the letter.
The letter had been edited by the palace's press department.
