The matter is not over yet, but a court has found the prince right in principle. It’s about an article in the Mail on Sunday and Harry’s efforts to get police protection.
Britain’s Prince Harry has claimed his first victory in a defamation lawsuit against the publisher of the Mail on Sunday.
London’s High Court on Friday ruled in principle that the 37-year-old royal was right, saying an article about Harry’s efforts to continue receiving police protection in the UK was potentially defamatory.
Harry’s lawyers had argued that the article in question wrongly suggested that the prince misled the public about his intentions. However, the judge did not confirm the allegation that Harry had been accused of lying in the text.
The publisher Associated Newspapers Limited denied the allegations. The ruling is just a first step in the process, according to the BBC, which sets the scope of the lawsuit. Further hearings are to follow.
Prince Harry is also currently engaged in a legal battle against the UK Home Office. He wants to ensure that despite his retirement from the inner circle of royals, he is still entitled to police protection for himself and his family in Great Britain.
