The former cable actress sued Associated Newspapers for invasion of privacy and copyright infringement over five February 2019 articles in the Mail on Sunday and on the MailOnline.

Last month High Court judge Mark Warby ruled that the publisher had misused her private information and infringed her copyright.

He said that Meghan, “had a reasonable expectation that the contents of the letter would remain private,” and concluded the paper’s publication of large chunks of it was, “manifestly excessive and hence unlawful.”

Associated Newspapers’ lawyer Antony White sought permission to appeal on Tuesday, saying a bid to overturn Warby’s ruling, “would have a real prospect of success.”

Meghan’s lawyers played tit for tat and demanded that the publisher give her the letter and destroy any electronic copies of it.

They also demanded that the judge order the Mail on Sunday to remove the five articles from its website plus run a front-page statement trumpeting her legal victory. Is this the definition of a sore winner?

Ian Mill is an attorney for Meghan and he said, “the defendant defiantly continues to do the very acts which the court has held are unlawful.”

He went on to say in a written submission, “The defendant has failed to deliver up copies it has of the letter such that the threat to infringe and further to misuse her private information remains real and, inexplicably, the defendant has still not removed the infringing articles from MailOnline.”

In his ruling last month, the judge said a “limited trial” should be held to decide the “minor” issue of whether Meghan was “the sole author” and lone copyright holder of the letter. It is expected to take place in the fall. In other words while Meghan has claimed to have “won” the lawsuit, it is still far from over.

Meghan was on the cable series Suits as well as a Suitcase Girl on the game show Deal or No Deal. In that role she toted briefcases stuffed with cash, in stilettos and barely there dresses. Her show biz ambitions appeared to bite the dust once she married Prince Charming.
