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.
