Meghan Markle finally wins.
The mainstream British newspaper
Mail on Sunday
has agreed to settle legal proceedings for invasion of privacy lost against Prince Harry's wife, according to a court document released on Wednesday.
The publisher of the newspaper agrees to pay the former American actress a pound sterling in damages for misuse of private information, as well as a sum, the amount of which remains confidential, for copyright infringement.
At war with the tabloids
A spokesperson for Meghan Markle described this sum as "significant" and indicated that it would be donated to associations. In addition, legal costs amount to 300,000 pounds sterling (360,000 euros), all to be paid before January 7, according to a court document made public to British journalists by the defense of the Associated Newspapers Limited group ( ANL).
According to the BBC, this document formally confirms that the editor of the newspaper, who had indicated that he was considering an appeal to the Supreme Court, accepts his defeat.
At war against tabloids often without mercy with her, Meghan Markle, whose husband Prince Harry holds the scandalous press responsible for the death of her mother Diana in 1997 in a car accident in Paris, had continued the
Mail on Sunday
for the publication of a letter to his father Thomas Markle.
A letter to his father
In this missive published in 2018, shortly after her marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle asked her father to stop pouring out and lying in the media about their broken relationship.
On December 2, the British courts had won the case against the Duchess of Sussex by rejecting the newspaper's editor's appeal against a decision rendered 10 months earlier, which deemed the publication of the letter to be illegal.
