Prince Harry and six other claimants have lost their High Court case against Associated Newspapers after a judge dismissed allegations that the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday relied on information obtained through unlawful methods. Former Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre hailed the judgment as an 'overwhelming victory' for the publisher and used the moment to launch a scathing attack on the Duke of Sussex.
Claimants, including Prince Harry, Sir Elton John, David Furnish, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, actress Sadie Frost and former Liberal Democrat MP Simon Hughes, had failed to produce sufficient evidence to support allegations that Associated Newspapers had unlawfully gathered information for articles published over many years.
