She won.

Why oops?

If I understand it correctly, she has won part of the case so I assume there will still be a hearing for the rest.

Oops? Did you want her to lose?

Sarcasm.

I don't understand why you are saying oops, even sarcastically?

Fantastic. Why anyone, anywhere would think it would be OK to publish a private letter I have no idea. And why it should have gone to the high court is beyond belief.

Guess it’s ooops from the daily mail point of view.

I’m glad she won.

The Daily Mail/Mail on Sunday are both scum. I even hesitate to use the word 'newspaper'. Toilet paper is more apt.

Thank you, sorry to be thick.

Am pleased for her, too.

Excellent.

I’m so glad they weren’t allowed to drag this out further.

I don't like her very much, but pleased she has won. A private letter should remain private, and it was a disgraceful of her father to sell it to a newspaper.

Good!

Whether you like her or not is irrelevant.

It’s not a win from what I can see, despite headlines suggesting otherwise. There will still be a trial as only part of the claim has been found in Meghan’s. I’d imagine the paper will appeal because the more it’s in the media the more clicks they generate which equates to revenue for them.

The data protection claim is also still outstanding and the question over whether there was a co-author of the letter will be determined in court.

Someone very important has obviously intervened and had words with the judiciary.

Surely the queen can only forget a very important conversation she had with someone until the eve of a court hearing once?

Good.

The mail are the lowest of the low. And the people who read them for this kind of salacious gossip aren’t much better.

Anyone who thinks that someone’s private business should be plastered all over the tabloids should take a long hard look at themselves and remember that anyone could publish something private they wrote if this became commonly accepted. It’s just that most of the people who read this trash aren’t noteworthy enough that anyone would care about what they had written in their private correspondence.

Imagine if they paid such close attention to Prince Andrew’s personal correspondence ...

Excellent news

Rubbish. If they were going to do that they would not have let it get this far.

But that would require actual journalism

That's good news, a judgement in favour of privacy.

Good!

It was a summary judgement on the point. The Mail had no prospect of winning on the privacy point. It was a letter between a parent and child surely that must carry an expectation of privacy.

Good for her

Good.
