In 2019, the couple, who now live in California, announced they were suing The Mail on Sunday and its parent company Associated Newspapers, over “intrusive and unlawful publication of a private letter written by the Duchess of Sussex, which is part of a campaign by this media group to publish false and deliberately derogatory stories about her.” 

Last month, a U.K. High Court judge granted Meghan a “summary judgment” in her claim for misuse of private information against the company, writing that she “had a reasonable expectation that the contents of the Letter would remain private. The Mail Articles interfered with that reasonable expectation.” 

“After two long years of pursuing litigation, I am grateful to the courts for holding Associated Newspapers and The Mail on Sunday to account for their illegal and dehumanizing practices,” Meghan said in a statement. “These tactics (and those of their sister publications MailOnline and The Daily Mail) are not new; in fact, they’ve been going on for far too long without consequence. For these outlets, it’s a game. For me and so many others, it’s real life, real relationships, and very real sadness. The damage they have done and continue to do runs deep.”
