Prince Harry and six co-claimants lost a privacy case against Associated Newspapers, with experts estimating the total costs exposure for all seven claimants at up to about £50 million (roughly $67 million); insurance is expected to cover part, but liability will be apportioned and the final bill could still be substantial in one of the era’s costliest media-privacy actions.
Prince Harry failed to appear in court for the first day of his lawsuit against UK tabloid, Daily Mirror, defying the judge's orders. Harry's lawyer cited travel and security arrangements as the reason for his absence. The lawsuit is one of five pending legal cases against UK tabloids accused of hacking his phone and invading his privacy. The Mirror Group Newspapers is accused of unlawfully obtaining material for 33 articles about the prince. Harry is expected to describe how he was tormented by the media throughout his life and how harassment by the British press led him and his wife, Meghan Markle, to leave royal life behind and flee to the US in 2020.
Prince Harry is expected to testify in court against the UK’s Daily Mirror tabloid in the first of five pending legal cases against UK tabloids accused of hacking his phone and invading his privacy. Harry is determined to take on tabloids that allegedly carried out “vicious, persistent attacks” on him and his wife, Meghan Markle. Along with the Daily Mirror’s parent company, the Mirror Group Newspapers, Harry is suing Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers, The Sun, and the Associated Newspapers Ltd, which owns the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. The first trial, set to kick off on Monday, is aimed at the Mirror Group and 33 of the 150 stories it published between 1995 and 2011 about King Charles’ youngest son, with Harry claiming the stories were produced with information from hacking his phone and other illegal methods.
