High Court Rules Against Prince Harry in Privacy Suit vs Daily Mail Publisher

The Duke of Sussex and other claimants lost their High Court privacy case against Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. In a 436-page ruling, Judge Nicklin found the allegations of unlawful information gathering were not proven and that the claimants failed to show information had been obtained unlawfully or that such activity was widespread. The publisher called the decision an “overwhelming victory,” while Harry and Baroness Lawrence described the outcome as a whitewash. A subsequent hearing is expected later in July as part of ongoing litigation over press intrusion.

Prince Harry privacy case concluded with defeat for the prince against Daily Mail publisher

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's Battle Against British Tabloids Begins.

Prince Harry's Battle Against British Tabloids Begins.

Prince Harry has appeared in court in London for a week of legal arguments about whether seven well-known people should be allowed to sue Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Mail titles, for alleged breaches of privacy. The publisher denies the allegations, branding the claims "preposterous smears". The case is hugely important because Associated Newspapers has always strongly denied paying for this sort of illegal newsgathering. A decade after law firms began suing rival titles The Sun, News of the World, and Mirror for millions in damages resulting from phone hacking, Associated Newspapers has remained untouched.

The Consequences of Prince Harry's Legal Battle Against Daily Mail

Prince Harry made a surprise visit to London this week, but it is believed that King Charles was "too busy" to meet with his youngest son even though his state visit to Germany didn’t occur until Wednesday. Numerous royal watchers have insisted that Charles snubbed his son, but some experts claim that Harry's surprise trip was strategically planned for when his brother and his father would be out of town. It's unclear whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will attend King Charles' coronation on May 6.

Prince Harry's Privacy Crusade: Compelling New Evidence and Accusations of a Royal Cover-Up.

Prince Harry's barrister has told a court that private investigators have provided new and "compelling" evidence of illegal work for the Mail newspapers in a privacy case centred on allegations of widespread illegality commissioned by journalists in the 1990s and 2000s. Associated Newspapers denies the allegations and says the seven claimants, including Prince Harry, Sir Elton John and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, have left it too long to sue. The judge promised to produce his judgement "as soon as possible".

Prince Harry made a surprise appearance at London's Royal Courts of Justice for the first hearing in a high profile privacy case against Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail, over alleged phone-tapping and other breaches of privacy. The case involves seven high profile figures, including Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley, and Sadie Frost. The individuals had become aware of “highly distressing” evidence revealing they had been victims of breaches of privacy by Associated Newspapers. The royal's appearance comes amid feverish tabloid interest in him and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.
