Meghan Markle won an appeal that a British tabloid breached her privacy by publishing parts of a letter she wrote to her estranged father after her marriage to Prince Harry.

London judges dismissed Mail On Sunday publisher Associated Newspapers Ltd’s appeal on Thursday (Dec 2), preventing the case from going to trial.

Earlier this year, a judge ruled in the Duchess of Sussex’s favour, ending the majority of the case without a trial that would have likely seen her, her father and former palace aides give evidence.
