Guilty

well it only costs a quid!

For privacy invasion yep.

But copyright infringement is far more expensive.

Next time they will just quote bits out of it and show her signature to save money.

The Mail on Sunday will pay the Duchess of Sussex just £1 in damages for invading her privacy by publishing a private letter she had sent to her father.
The nominal sum is set out in court documents that also formally confirm that the newspaper – and its sister website MailOnline – has accepted defeat and will not be taking the long-running case to a supreme court appeal.

The outlet will also pay an unspecified sum for the separate case of infringing Meghan’s copyright by publishing large parts of the letter.

She probably got £1 for that too ...

More interesting would be decision on costs - given that she won so little, basically nothing, I'd imagine she won't have much of her costs covered - that might teach her that British Law system isn't what they had in The Suits...
