Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle Seeks £1.5M In Court Case
Daughter of Thomas Markle and Duchess of Sussex has been granted an interim £450,000 as payment towards her £1.5m legal costs in her privacy case against The Mail on Sunday and mail online.
Tuesday’s remote hearing followed Meghan’s “comprehensive win” against Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), publishers of The Mail on Sunday and Mail online, whom she sued over five articles published in February 2019, which reproduced parts of a “heartfelt” handwritten letter sent to her estranged father Thomas Markle.
The Duchess is also seeking a front-page apology and a High Court order that the newspaper hand over any copies of the letter, and to destroy any electronic copies of it or any notes made about it.
