"Prince Harry Withdraws Libel Claim Against British Tabloid Publisher"

Prince Harry has withdrawn his libel claim against the publisher of the Mail on Sunday newspaper over an article about his security arrangements, citing a focus on his family's safety. The claim was related to a 2022 article that accused him of misleading the public about paying for police protection. Harry's spokesperson stated that he wanted to prioritize his case against the British government over the decision to strip him of automatic police protection in the UK. This decision comes after he lost a bid to have the paper's defense thrown out, and he will now be responsible for paying the paper's costs and his own fees.

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 Fights Back Against Tabloid Defamation

Prince Harry seeks to win his libel case against Associated Newspapers without a trial over an article in the Mail on Sunday newspaper that alleged he offered to pay for police protection only after bringing a separate legal fight against Britain’s government. Harry's lawyers argue that the publisher has no viable defence to his libel claim, while Associated Newspapers' lawyers say they will rely on a strong argument of "honest opinion". Harry has embarked on a series of legal battles with the tabloid press, including another case against Associated Newspapers due to be heard later this month.
