Meghan Markle to receive £1 as damages from British publication

Meghan Markle will receive £1 for damages from the Mail on Sunday after winning legal battle against the publication, as per reports.

The outlet was sued by the Duchess of Sussex under privacy invasion for publishing a private letter she wrote to her dad Thomas Markle in 2018.

Now that Mail on Sunday has accepted defeat in 2021, Meghan has officially won the case and the nominal sum as per the Guardian.

Media lawyer Mark Stephens told Guardian: “Normally for that kind of invasion of privacy you would expect £75,000 to £125,000. It does show that the curation of her reputation was an area where she had effectively invaded her own privacy.”

In addition to the damages, the Mail on Sunday will also cover the royal's legal costs which are approximately more than £1m.
