"It’s nice to know there are still good people,’” Markle told Rex.
Markle won her legal battle with Associated Papers, the publishers of the Mail on Sunday, in December. In a lengthy appeal, the Court of Appeal in London ruled in her favour.
As a result of this decision, the case will not proceed to trial and Markle is now due financial damages.
