A newspaper article which accused Prince Harry of trying to “mislead and confuse” the public over his security arrangements was defamatory, a High Court judge has ruled.

The Duke of Sussex is suing the publisher of The Mail on Sunday - Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) – over a story about his court battle with the Home Office over his security detail while in the UK.
