On Thursday, the Court of Appeal ruled the privacy case does not need to go to a full trial, rejecting Associated Newspapers’ attempt. It concludes the latest stage of the legal battle between Meghan and Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Mail on Sunday and Mail Online, over extracts of a letter the Duchess sent to her estranged father.
Meghan wrote the letter to Thomas Markle in 2018.
Extracts were published in five articles by the Mail on Sunday and MailOnline in February 2019.

Associated Newspaper appealed the judgement.
