Prince Harry has launched an extraordinary attack on a High Court judge in London after losing his £50 million privacy and phone hacking case against the publisher of the Daily Mail, accusing Mr Justice Nicklin of presiding over a 'complete and obvious whitewash' on Tuesday.
For context, the ruling brought to a halt Harry's most ambitious legal push yet against the British tabloid press, a joint claim brought with six other high‑profile figures including Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Sir Elton John, David Furnish, Elizabeth Hurley, Sadie Frost and former Liberal Democrat MP Sir Simon Hughes. The group had alleged that Associated Newspapers Ltd used unlawful information‑gathering techniques, including phone hacking and illegally obtaining medical and financial records, to generate stories over more than a decade.
