As for setting a precedent for how the tabloids treat people in future, its all been done before numerous times (by members of the royals before her as well) and it has made no difference.
In the case of private letters I totally agree they should remain private for both the writer and the recipient and the win was correct.

I agree that private should stay private.

I don't understand what hypocrisy there is though. Meghan feels her privacy has been invaded by her father releasing the letter and that is what has been the crux of this case. Her issue is with the publication in this case, not her father. If he had an issue with previous interviews, that was for him to then take similar action against that publication. It is not Meghan taking on her father in this case. She has taken exception at this publication, as is her right. She has taken legal action which has ruled in her favour in the points of law therefore no hypocrisy or unfairness.

Had she sued her father, I would understand your view more but in this case I don't see what the problem is.
