UK court backs Meghan Markle in dispute over privacy

LONDON: A British court has dismissed an appeal by a newspaper publisher seeking to overturn an earlier ruling that it breached the

privacy of the Duchess of Sussex

by publishing portions of a letter she wrote to her estranged father.

The court of appeal on Thursday upheld a high court ruling in February that publication of the letter that former Meghan Markle wrote to her father Thomas Markle after she married Prince Harry in 2018 was "manifestly excessive and hence unlawful".
