"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Prince Harry has withdrawn his libel claim against the publisher of the Mail on Sunday newspaper over an article about his security arrangements, citing a focus on his family's safety.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 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.
