Prince Harry's Lawsuit Against Daily Mail Publisher Advances to Trial
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.
