A British newspaper publisher said Tuesday it plans to appeal against a judge's ruling that it invaded the privacy of the Duchess of Sussex by publishing parts of a letter she wrote to her estranged father after her 2018 marriage to Prince Harry. High Court judge Mark Warby ruled last month that the publisher had misused the duchess's private information and infringed her copyright. The judge refused permission to appeal, saying he saw "no real prospect" of another court reaching a different conclusion than he had. "The Court of Appeal, of course, may take a different view," he said, adding that Associated Newspapers can take its case directly to the appeals court. He ordered Associated Newspapers to make an interim payment of 450,000 pounds (roughly $800,000 Cdn) toward Meghan's legal costs, and said further "financial remedies" would be dealt with later.
