UK court backs Meghan in dispute over privacy with publisher

21 Sept 11:35 Key points summarised by AI

Duchess Meghan secured a major legal victory as the UK Court of Appeal upheld a High Court ruling, confirming Associated Newspapers unlawfully breached her privacy by publishing parts of a personal letter to her father.
The court affirmed Meghan had a "reasonable expectation of privacy" for the letter's contents, deeming them personal and not matters of legitimate public interest, thereby dismissing the publisher's appeal.
Meghan hailed the ruling as a "victory not just for me, but for anyone who has ever felt scared to stand up for what’s right," expressing a desire to reshape a tabloid industry she claims profits from "lies and pain."
Associated Newspapers' arguments, including claims that Meghan intended the letter to be public or that publication was part of her father's right to reply, were rejected by the court.
Meghan apologized for previously misleading the court regarding her cooperation with authors of "Finding Freedom," stating she had forgotten discussions with her former communications secretary about providing information.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
