Prince Harry did not attend Birmingham's Invictus Games anniversary event after losing a High Court privacy case against Associated Newspapers Limited; the absence follows the court ruling, with security funding concerns and ongoing royal-family speculation cited as possible reasons for his U.K. visit.
London’s High Court dismissed Prince Harry’s privacy claims and those of six others against Associated Newspapers Limited, publisher of the Daily Mail, ruling that the information used in the articles from 1993–2011 was not proven to have been unlawfully sourced. The judge said suspicion isn’t enough and the claimants must prove unlawful obtaining. The case included allegations of illegal activity by private investigators, such as voicemail interception and blagging, and was decided as Harry began a week of Invictus Games engagements in the UK.
Prince Harry and six other claimants failed to prove that Associated Newspapers Limited unlawfully gathered their information; the High Court dismissed all claims in a lengthy 400-page judgment, with ANL describing it as an overwhelming victory for its journalists.
Prince Harry has won a crucial stage in his lawsuit against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), the publisher of the Daily Mail, setting up a potential blockbuster trial next year. Harry and several other plaintiffs, including Elton John and Liz Hurley, accuse ANL of unlawful information gathering, such as bugging their cars and hacking their phone conversations. ANL's attempt to have the case thrown out was dismissed by the judge, who stated that the claimants have a "real prospect of succeeding." However, the judge ruled that material supplied to the Leveson Inquiry into press standards in 2012 cannot be used in court. This is the latest victory for Harry and Meghan in their battle against British tabloids, whom they accuse of invading their privacy.

ANL denies the allegations and is trying to strike down the case before a trial. This is Harry's first trip back to the UK since the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.
