Meghan Markle has threatened the Mail on Sunday with legal action after privacy breach

Posted on February 24, 2019 by pogowasright.org

Rebecca O’Keeffe reports:

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has threatened the Mail on Sunday with legal action under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act.

The paper published parts of a private letter that the Duchess had sent to her father, Thomas Markle.

Talk about a breach of privacy.

Mr Markle gave the letter to the publication, in response to an interview that Meghan’s friends have to People.

So what is the law? Well,  a UK copyright lawyer, Alex Newman, gave the Guardian  his opinion:

“A letter is a copyright work as it is a literary work.”

“As soon as you create a copyright work, you will own the copyright until it expires automatically. This gives you the right to prevent anyone else copying, or issuing to the public, the whole or a substantial part of your copyrighted work.”
