"Prince Harry Withdraws Libel Claim Against Mail on Sunday Publisher"

Prince Harry has dropped his libel claim against the Mail on Sunday publisher, Associated Newspapers, regarding an article about his publicly-funded security arrangements. The Duke of Sussex had sued over the article, which reported on changes to his security after he stepped back as a senior royal and moved to the United States. The Mail on Sunday stated that he had "abandoned his case" just hours before a court deadline and will be liable for the publisher's £250,000 legal costs.

Prince Harry Fined Over $60,000 in Failed Legal Challenge Against Mail on Sunday Publisher

Prince Harry has been ordered by a court to pay the publisher of the Daily Mail, Associated Newspapers, over $60,000 in legal fees after his failed challenge to strike down a legal defense by the publisher. The defense claimed that an article accusing Harry of misleading the public expressed an "honest opinion" and did not cause serious harm to his reputation. The court ruled in favor of Associated Newspapers, stating that Harry's argument against the article was narrow and did not effectively challenge the claims made. The case will go to trial next year.

Prince Harry's Legal Challenge Against Mail on Sunday Fails

Prince Harry has lost his bid to have the Mail on Sunday newspaper's defense to his libel lawsuit thrown out, meaning he is likely to give evidence again at London's High Court next year. The lawsuit stems from a 2022 article that alleged Harry only offered to pay for police protection after bringing a separate legal fight against the British government. The court ruled that Harry's case should go to trial, which is expected to take place in 2024. This comes after Harry's legal challenge over his police protection concluded, with a ruling expected at a later date. Despite stepping away from royal duties, Harry and his wife Meghan have been involved in multiple lawsuits against British tabloids.

Prince Harry's Legal Challenge Against Mail on Sunday Fails

Prince Harry has been unsuccessful in his attempt to strike out the Mail on Sunday's defence to his libel claim against the paper. The high court ruled that the paper's story suggested Harry sought wide confidentiality restrictions and attempted to mislead the public. Harry argued to strike out the defence of honest opinion, but the judge rejected his claim, allowing the defence to be deployed and the case to proceed to trial. The Mail on Sunday may argue that Harry's public statements were misleading and successfully confused the public. Harry's libel action against Associated Newspapers is expected to go to trial next year.

Prince Harry's Libel Claim Against UK Publisher to Proceed to Trial

Prince Harry's libel case against the Mail on Sunday newspaper over an article about his security arrangements will proceed to trial, as a judge at London's High Court rejected his attempts to have the publisher's defense thrown out. The article in question accused Harry of trying to keep secret a separate legal fight with the British government over his publicly funded police protection and misleading the public about his willingness to pay for the policing himself. The trial is expected to take place in 2024.

The High-Stakes Court Battle and Drama Surrounding Prince Harry.

Prince Harry appeared in court to allege that Associated Newspapers, the parent company of the Daily Mail, carried out illegal information-gathering activities. Associated Newspapers has described the claims as “preposterous smears”. The legal arguments are part of a four-day preliminary hearing where Associated Newspapers is trying to stop the claims from reaching trial. The stakes are high as both sides aim to convince the judge to press on to trial or kill the case at an early stage. The decision on whether the case will be allowed to go to trial is potentially as important as the eventual outcome.

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.

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.

The judge promised to produce his judgement "as soon as possible".
