JAKARTA - The British newspaper Mail on Sunday must publish a front-page statement saying Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has won a privacy case against the media, based on a London High Court judge's decision Friday local time.

Last month, judge Mark Warby ruled that the tabloids had clearly violated Meghan's privacy by publishing a snippet from a five-page letter she wrote to her father, Thomas Markle, whose relationship was strained during her 2018 marriage to Queen Elizabeth's grandson, Prince Harry.

Warby had ordered the newspaper to post a front-page notice and a statement about the outcome of the case on its inside page.

He also decided that MailOnline should also publish the announcement of Meghan's win for the week.

Meghan and Harry made headlines last week in the British media ahead of an interview with Oprah Winfrey that will air Sunday on US television. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's interviews with Oprah Winfrey have been sold worldwide for ViacomCBS Global Distribution.

Reported by Variety on Friday, the two-hour interview sparked a bidding war in Britain with ITV emerging as the winner.

The presence of the interview will make all eyes of the world will focus on how the royal family can accept Meghan and Harry's statement, especially as in the interview footage which shows Meghan mentioning that the royal family played an active role in presenting lies about them.

Despite breaking out of the royal family, the names Meghan and Prince Harry remain hugely popular around the world and "CBS Presents Oprah With Meghan and Harry" has now been sold to many international broadcasters.
