According to the news on December 27, local time, Megan Markle finally won the case after 3 years of "struggle", she got a public apology from two British tabloids "Sunday Mail" and "Daily Mail", the court ruled that the two newspapers belonging to the United Press Group violated Meghan's right to privacy, because they published a private letter written by Megan to her father Thomas Markle without authorization and used it in five articles.
It is reported that after a grand royal wedding with Prince Harry at Windsor Castle, the former American actress who was promoted to Duchess of Sussex sent a 5-page handwritten letter to her father, saying that Thomas made her very sad and "heartbroken into a million pieces". When she learned that her letter had been made public, Meghan immediately sued two newspapers and demanded damages, claiming that it was "misuse of her private information and copyright infringement", and Meghan's lawsuit was also supported by her husband Harry, and the red-haired prince shouted "I lost my mother, and now watch my wife will also become a victim of that coercive force".
Megan, who initiated the lawsuit in August 2018, is very satisfied with the success after 3 years, saying that it is not a victory for herself, but a victory for all those who have suffered this experience. In addition, Meghan also claimed that from the first day of the prosecution she regarded her behavior as an "important measure of good and evil" and accused the newspaper of engaging in a "game without rules, they manipulate the public". In addition to public apologies from both newspapers (which remain on the newspaper's homepage for at least six months), Meghan will receive more than £1.5 million (about 13 million RMB) in damages that Meghan had previously promised to donate.
It is not surprising that Meghan won the case, in fact, Harry has also fought with the newspaper many times, and has also received a lot of compensation. The commentary believes that the media may need to be extra careful when covering Harry Meghan in the future, as the two are already experienced in the "privacy struggle" and now the names of the two are "one of the most profitable personal brands in the world" and are estimated to have a net worth of around £250 million (about 2.14 billion RMB).
