The interested parties responded as follows:
Newspaper and Magazine Industry: “We are deeply disappointed with this decision, which denies the newspaper and magazine industry the right properly to make their case that the Privy Council's decision to reject their Charter was unfair and unlawful.
This is a vital constitutional issue and we will be taking our case for judicial review - of the Privy Council's decisions on both the industry Charter and the cross-party Charter - to the Court of Appeal.”
Bob Satchwell, executive director of the Society of Editors said: "This is disappointing and it is a pity the Queen has been brought into controversy. Royal Charters are usually granted to those who ask for one - not forced upon an industry or group that doesn't want it.
"The important thing is that the press has moved a long way to create a robust new regulator by next spring taking on board Lord Justice Leveson's recommendations including £1million fines, orders to make corrections, investigative powers and an independent board with no serving editors in the regulatory system.
"Those who seem to want to neuter the press forget that there are 20 national papers, 1100 regional and local papers and hundreds of magazines who have not done any wrong but they are willing to submit themselves to the scrutiny of the most powerful regulator in the western world, so long as it is independent of politicians now and in the future."
A spokesman for Hacked Off said: "We are happy that the Leveson Inquiry's recommendations can finally be implemented, 11 months after they were made, and that the courts have rejected the efforts of the big newspaper companies to sabotage the process.
"News publishers now have a great opportunity to join a scheme that will not only give the public better protection from press abuses, but will also uphold freedom of expression, protect investigative journalism and benefit papers financially.
"We urge them to take this opportunity. It is what the Inquiry recommended, what the public and the victims of press abuse expect, and what all parties in Parliament have united behind.
"The time has come for the newspaper companies to listen to all of those voices, including the vast majority of their readers, and to distance themselves from a past marred by bullying, fabrication and intrusion.
"The press should seize the chance to show the public they do not fear being held to decent ethical standards, and that they are proud to be accountable to the people they write for and about."
