A British newspaper publisher that lost a privacy dispute with Meghan Markle has been ordered to pay £450,000 (NZ$862,000) to the Duchess. High Court judge Mark Warby ruled last month that the publisher had misused the duchess’ private information and infringed her copyright. Kirsty Wigglesworth/AP Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle. Lawyers for Meghan, meanwhile, demanded the publisher hand over the letter and destroy any electronic copies or notes it held. They also asked the judge to order the Mail on Sunday to remove the five articles from its website and to run a front-page statement about the duchess’ legal victory.
