Harry's privacy battle against Daily Mail ends in setback

In a High Court ruling, Judge Nicklin found that Associated Newspapers failed to prove unlawful information gathering by the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, vindicating the publisher and potentially closing a 20-year chapter of the phone-hacking saga. The decision required conclusive proof that each story was unlawfully obtained rather than generic evidence of misconduct, and some witness statements were deemed unreliable. Prince Harry testified and Baroness Doreen Lawrence joined the action, but the ruling leaves open whether an appeal will be filed, and marks a significant setback for the plaintiffs while hinting that the era of large-scale civil actions over hacking may be winding down.

Royals Put Kris Bubic on IL After Shoulder Setback

Royals left-hander Kris Bubic was shut down after receiving a cortisone shot for shoulder soreness and will rest 7–10 days before attempting to ramp up again. The update follows a season interrupted by elbow issues and a rotator cuff strain earlier in 2023–24, and leaves Kansas City thin in a rotation already missing Cole Ragans to UCL surgery. With a 35-53 record and a looming trade deadline, Bubic’s health—and his status as an impending free agent—could impact potential deals, while the Royals ride with a rotation of Lugo, Wacha, Cameron, Kolek and Avila as they wait for his return.

Royals face optics and transparency as public funding sits at £99.9m

Reuters reports that the Sovereign Grant for 2024-25 is £99.9m, a ‘charm pricing’ figure designed to look like value for money, while the King becomes the first monarch to publish his personal tax payment (£12.9m), signaling greater openness even though the income sources and tax breakdown remain unclear; the core grant remains higher than pre-renovation levels, the golden ratchet stays in place, and questions over royal spending and property arrangements persist.

Meghan and Harry's UK Return: A Desperation-Driven Comeback

Royal biographer Tom Bower labels Meghan and Harry’s planned July return to Britain a desperation-driven move to regain credibility and financial footing, with Buckingham Palace quietly arranging security and a royal residence. Factionalism within Charles’s court pits hawks against doves over reconciliation with the Sussexes, and a future royal photograph with King Charles could re-anchor their royal brand, even as public support for the monarchy remains low.
