The group must also pay the Duchess nominal damages for the misuse of private information, in accordance with the court order.
On December 2, the Court of Appeal upheld the decision that the ANL had misused Meghan’s private information through the publication of the letter, saying that the Duchess “had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the content of the letter”.
After the trial, the ANL said in a statement that it was “very disappointed” and considering an appeal to the UK Supreme Court.
In a statement after the trial, Meghan hailed this as a “victory not just for me, but for anyone who’s ever been afraid to stand up for what’s right.”
