Meghan Markle, wife to Prince Harry, has won nominal damages of £1 from one of Britain's biggest newspaper groups after an appeals court ruled in her favour over a privacy case.

The sum, equating to $1.40 or 1.20 euros, is payable by Associated Newspapers for misuse of private information, and it will also have to pay a "confidential sum" for infringing her copyright.&nbsp;

A spokesperson for the Duchess of Sussex said the sum for copyright infringement was "substantial" and would be donated to charity.

Details of last month's finding by the Court of Appeal in London emerged in a written case order divulged Wednesday by lawyers for Associated, which publishes the Mail on Sunday newspaper and MailOnline.

The order said&nbsp;Associated should also pay £300,000 to Markle for legal costs.

Associated had said it was mulling a further appeal to the UK's Supreme Court, after a High Court judge initially ruled in the former TV actress's favour last year without a full trial.

But according to the BBC, "the company has now accepted defeat in the long-running case". The duchess had sued Associated over the publication in 2019 by the Mail on Sunday of a letter she had written to her estranged father.

Lawyers for Associated had argued that Markle wrote the correspondence knowing it was likely to be leaked, despite claiming the opposite.

Last month, Markle apologised to the appeals court after admitting she had allowed a former aide to brief the authors of a favourable biography of her short tenure as a frontline royal in Britain, despite previous denials on the matter.

Markle, 40, and Harry, 37, now live in California after stepping down from royal duties in 2019. They have taken legal action against a number of publications, alleging invasion of privacy.

Meghan, Britain`s Duchess of Sussex, on Thursday sought a court order to stop the publisher of the Mail on Sunday tabloid from publicising the names of five friends who could be witnesses in an ongoing legal dispute, according to a court filing.

Markle and his daughter have not spoken since he pulled out of appearing at her wedding to Harry in May 2018 after undergoing heart surgery and following news he had staged photos with a paparazzi photographer. 
 
The Mail justified publishing the letter by saying five unnamed friends of Meghan had put her version of events in interviews with the U.S. magazine People. Her legal team say it was untrue she had authorised or arranged for her friends to tell People about the letter, and on Thursday said Associated Newspapers were threatening to publish their names.

"These five women are not on trial, and nor am I. The publisher of the Mail on Sunday is the one on trial," Meghan said in a witness statement to London`s High Court reviewed by Reuters. 
 
"Each of these women is a private citizen, young mother, and each has a basic right to privacy," she added, saying their names had appeared in a confidential section of her legal papers.

In documents filed last week as part of Meghan’s privacy case, her lawyers said her friends had spoken out because of the "tremendous emotional distress and damage to her mental health" caused by some of "false" British tabloid press articles. 
 
In May, the judge in the case rejected part of her claim that the paper had acted dishonestly and stoked the rift with her father. The full trial is not expected until next year.
