    Title

    The Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle has won her high court privacy case against the Mail on Sunday, hailing her victory as a “comprehensive win” over the newspaper’s “illegal and dehumanising practices.”

    Judges

    Lord Justice Warby

    In his judgment, ruled for Meghan Markle’s in her claim for misuse of private information against Associated Newspapers, publishers of the Mail on Sunday (MoS) and Mail Online, over five articles in February 2019 that included extracts from the letter.

    Defendant

    Associated Newspapers and its publications the Mail On Sunday and the Mail Online

    Plaintiff Attorney

    Barrister David Sherborne, who is acting for the Duchess in the court case, specialises in privacy, confidentiality and defamation, as well as matrimonial and sports law. He has previous links to royalty, having represented Prince Harry's late mother Diana, Princess of Wales. His other famous clients have included Cherie and Tony Blair, Donald and Melania Trump, Chelsea Clinton, Sir Paul McCartney, Kate Moss, David Walliams, Sir Elton John and David Furnish, the Spice Girls and Cheryl Cole, to name a few. A University of Oxford alumni, Mr Sherborne also worked on the Leveson Inquiry and has led high-profile phone hacking claims for celebrities, including Hugh Grant.

    Justin Rushbrooke, argued that that the publisher had “no real prospect” of winning because “it's a very straightforward case about the unlawful publication of a private letter” meant as a "message of peace" for her father alone

    Schillings last year, one of the leading law firms in reputation management, which has represented a number of high profile clients over the years, including author JK Rowling and Kate Winslet's husband, Edward Abel Smith.

    The Duchess of Sussex has identified the five close friends who gave an interview to People magazine criticising her father - but denies she authorised them to do it in the latest bombshell documents released as part of her High Court battle against the press.

    ANL has said Thomas Markle shared the letter only after Meghan's friends - who could be called to give evidence at a possible trial in late 2020 or early 2021 - gave an interview about it to the US magazine People, which he felt vilified him, and he wanted to show it was not the tender message they had suggested.
