Prince Harry's Court Battle Against Tabloids: A Weak Argument or a Just Cause?

Prince Harry testified in a London court in his lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mirror tabloid, alleging that the paper unlawfully snooped on his life from 1996 to 2011. He accused journalists of using burner phones and destroying records, but had little evidence to support his claims. Harry is seeking accountability and reform of the British media, and the outcome of this case is uncertain. The Duke of Sussex's hostility towards the UK media runs through his memoir, "Spare," and he blames paparazzi for causing the car crash that killed his mother, Princess Diana.
