The Mail on Sunday must publish a front page statement about the Duchess of Sussex's victory in her copyright claim against the newspaper, the High Court has ruled.
The ruling was made after publisher Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), which also owns the Daily Mail, was successfully sued over its publication of Meghan's letter to her estranged father Thomas Markle in August 2018.
On Friday, judge Lord Justice Warby ordered the Mail on Sunday must publish a front page statement on Meghan's legal win.
In the same edition, it must also state on page three that, following a hearing in January, the High Court gave judgment for the duchess on her claim for copyright infringement.

It will also have to include the following statement: “The court found that Associated Newspapers infringed her copyright by publishing extracts of her handwritten letter to her father in The Mail On Sunday and in MailOnline.
“There will be a trial of the remedies to which the duchess is entitled, at which the court will decide whether the duchess is the exclusive owner of copyright in all parts of the letter, or whether any other person owns a share.”
The statement must also run on website MailOnline for a week, with a link to the full ruling on Meghan’s win.
Mr Justice Warby said: “In my judgment, these are measured incursions into the defendant’s freedom to decide what it publishes and does not publish, that are justified in pursuit of the legitimate aim I have identified, and proportionate to that aim.
“They will involve little if any additional expense, and certainly nothing approaching the scale of the expense that has been lavished on this litigation.”

Mr Justice Warby on February 11 found the publication of the letter infringed the duchess’ copyright, saying its articles “copied a large and important proportion of the work’s original literary content”.
But he said issues of whether Meghan was “the sole author” – or whether Jason Knauf, formerly communications secretary to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, was a “co-author” – should be determined at a trial.
He also ruled in favour of Meghan's privacy claim in the summary judgment, which means the claim did not have to go to trial.
Following the ruling, the 39-year-old duchess said it showed "you cannot take somebody’s privacy and exploit it in a privacy case".
Giving his ruling in February, Mr Justice Warby said Meghan would have had a "reasonable expectation that the contents of the letter would remain private".
He said that “the only tenable justification for any such interference was to correct some inaccuracies about the letter”, contained in an article in People magazine which featured an interview with five friends of Meghan.

But he added: “The inescapable conclusion is that, save to the very limited extent I have identified, the disclosures made were not a necessary or proportionate means of serving that purpose.
“For the most part they did not serve that purpose at all. Taken as a whole the disclosures were manifestly excessive and hence unlawful.”
On Tuesday, the judge also ruled the newspaper should pay 90% of the costs incurred by the duchess for the Summary Judgement Application in her legal battle. He said the percentage was a rough calculation of the costs incurred "on matters on which she succeeded" in the case.

Em fevereiro passado, o juiz Warby já havia sentenciado que a publicação havia sido ilegal. 

Nesta época, as relações familiares entre os dois andavam estremecidas após Thomas ter dado algumas entrevistas a tabloides britânicos, que passaram a acusar a Duquesa de ter abandonado seu genitor, o que ela sempre negou e fez questão, inclusive, de lembrar ao pai na carta.

Os Duques estão no centro de uma polêmica devido a uma entrevista gravada há três semanas para o  e que irá ao ar nos Estados Unidos neste dia 07. A muito esperada entrevista, creem alguns, deverá fazer tremer as colunas do , uma vez que muitos esperam que Meghan dê detalhes sobre sua conturbada época de trabalho com a Família Real britânica. 

A entrevista provocou uma disputa entre TVs da Europa e, principalmente, do Reino Unido, sobre os direitos de re-exibição. No Reino Unido, por fim, ela irá ao ar no dia 08 pela ITV e na França pela TMC. 

Outras polêmicas envolvendo o casal são que muitos acreditam que a transmissão da entrevista deva ser adiada devido a saúde fragilizada do avô de Harry, Philp, que está internado desde o dia 16 de fevereiro e que anteontem, não tão casualmente, segundo alguns, três pessoas que trabalharam com a Duquesa no Palácio de Kensington a acusaram de bullying, acusações que fizeram o Palácio de Buckingham abrir uma investigação interna na área de Recursos Humanos.
