She won.

I don’t think the copyright issue is resolved yet .

Good on her

This a good thing!

Esp if puts the breaks in media doing this to others.

If I was famous or anything won’t take much cash to get one of my own family to sell my soul.

I am pleased for her, but it won't stop the vile tabloid rags writing their shit about her - too many sad acts lap it up, so it sells papers and drives clicks. I don't blame her and Harry for getting the hell out.

Good !

Surprised it lasted this long.

"There seems to be some confusion online about today’s outcome. The ruling was an all-out win on copyright AND privacy for DOS. The next hearing is to simply determine damages and the only trial that could happen would be if someone claims they’re entitled to a portion of damages."

Yep. And they'll up their game now and target her even more with clickbait.
The DM/MoS are rags

It's great that she has won the privacy case. Great for her and great for all of us because it's a warning the gutter press.

I am puzzled by the copyright case though. When I read about this initially I assumed the dispute was whether it was MM or her father who owned the copyright of the letter. It's not that though. The dispute is whether MM or her secretary own copyright because MM didn't actually write the letter by herself.

I find this really strange. Of course really busy people like her have staff to write letters, but not to their own parent surely, especially if it's an emotional letter.

@Roussette

It was a personal and private letter and an invasion of her privacy. And the Judge ruled in her favour saying exactly this.

The next stage is to decide damages which she is giving to an anti-bullying charity, so the DM's money is going to that. Win win.

But it wasnt a private letter. She told her 'four friends ' about it and they leaked some of the contents. Her father then leaked the actual letter to dispute what her friends had said. Her friends leaked some of the contents first. How is that not a breach of her privacy. If she told her friends about it. And then it's in a magazine, with her blessings how private does she think it will stay?

Do we need to know the details of her dysfunction family? Apparently some of her relatives are publishing books soon anyway! She has much historical and ongoing baggage to be dropped on media soon anyway.

Perhaps they should all get along and play nicely and not continue to live retrospectively. She is supposed to behave according to British royal family norms not run away with royal family members and be hostile to family etc. Not very ideal family role model.

I am just repeating what Justice Warby said ... it is what he ruled. His words.

She's won the bit that counts and won it very decisively.

I'm very happy, I think she's great.

Not be with her husband do you mean? They made a decision together.
Good on them.
Great she won this case too. And that the damages will go to an anti bullying charity. Ironic, given how bullying the DM/Mos are.
Divine retribution.

I am pleased for her. Nice to see you Roussette .

Souther Just because you tell your friends about something doesn't stop it from being private. If I told my friends that I'd made a sex tape, does that mean it can be put on the internet without my consent?

Good for MM!

Hiya DaveCoaches long time no see! 😃

Her father was an utter shit to sell that letter... I'm not a huge DOS fan but I'm glad that she won!

Why should she play nicely with her awful family. They are like leeches.
Glad its looking good for her.

@Squarepigeon

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

Exactly.

Good

Vile filthy rag

Why do people read it? It makes my blood boil

And her father is a disgusting human too

Roussette

I wonder if that bonds them together, both having bonkers families?

Oh yes, DaveC it's bound to without doubt. Shared but different experiences

Pleased to hear this

Who actually gives a fk ?

I don't like her and I never will. She won this case and let's move on.
