Madonna gets damages for wedding snaps

Madonna has been awarded damages by the Mail On Sunday for invasion of privacy and copyright infringement.

The substantial undisclosed sum is in relation to photographs of the popstar's wedding to Guy Ritchie in 2000.

According to Sky News, Madonna had been seeking £5 million in damages from the newspaper's publishers Associated Newspapers.

The Mail On Sunday published ten snaps from the ceremony at Skibo castle, Scotland in October 2008 shortly after her divorce from the movie director.

The pictures were acquired by an interior designer who copied the photos from the couple's wedding album while working at Madonna's home in Beverly Hills in 2003.

Associated Newspapers admitted that its actions were wrong and offered its sincere apologies to the 51-year-old and her family.

Madonna, who was not at London's High Court, will donate the money to charity Raising Malawi.
