Johnny Depp’s new girlfriend, Joelle Rich, was once an attorney for Meghan Markle.

The London-based lawyer represented Markle, 41, in the Duchess of Sussex’s case against Associated Newspapers, which owns the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday.

Markle sued the British tabloid company in October 2019 after it published a private letter she wrote to her estranged father, Thomas Markle, following his absence at her May 2018 wedding to Prince Harry.

Meghan won the case in December 2021, with the court ruling that the publication of the letter breached her privacy and was “unlawful.”

The Mail on Sunday argued that the “Suits” alum had written the letter knowing it would be leaked, but judges found that the correspondence was “personal, private and not matters of legitimate public interest.”

“This is a victory not just for me, but for anyone who has ever felt scared to stand up for what’s right,” Meghan said in a statement to Page Six at the time.

She added, “Tomorrow it could be you. These harmful practices don’t happen once in a blue moon — they are a daily fail that divide us, and we all deserve better.”

The Mail on Sunday was ordered to pay damages and print a front-page apology to the former actress.

Rich was a part of the team at Schillings law firm that helped Meghan score the legal win.

The lawyer also represented Depp, 59, in his libel lawsuit against the Sun, which he lost in November 2020.
