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.

Her father felt his privacy had been invaded by Meghan showing the letter to her friends and People magazine then printing what the friends told them was in the letter, apparently with Meghan’s blessing. Meghan took no exception at this publication as it showed her in a good light and him bad. Unlike Meghan he hadn’t the deep pockets, if needed, to sue People even if he had wanted to.

The defense of how he was portrayed in the People mag was the reason her father showed the letter to the paper in the first place who then printed extracts and led to them being sued by Meghan.
I’m referring to the human side of things here, not just points of law. I see unfairness and hypocrisy in this.
