A British tabloid began an appeal on Tuesday against a high court judge's ruling in favour of Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, in her privacy and copyright action over the publication of a letter she had written to her estranged father.

Meghan, 40, sued Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Mail on Sunday, for printing parts of the letter she wrote to Thomas Markle in August 2018 three months after her marriage to Queen Elizabeth's grandson Prince Harry.

Meghan wrote the five-page letter to Markle following a collapse in their relationship in the run-up to her wedding, which her father missed due to ill health and after he admitted posing for paparazzi pictures. The duchess's lawyers said the appeal should be thrown out as another trial would allow further invasion of her privacy, while the Mail would profit from the "media circus that would inevitably result".
