The high court ruled that the newspaper invaded Meghan Markle’s privacy when it published a personal letter to her estranged father, Thomas Markle. Lord Justice Warby said: “It was, in short, a personal and private letter […] The claimant had a reasonable expectation that the contents of the letter would remain private. “You are putting manacles on the media and that is going to be one of the issues from this going forward,” he said. “What you have is a situation where any letter that is leaked to a journalist cannot be published under the terms of this judgment. Others, however, are not yet convinced that the ruling has major implications for the media.
