Prince Harry sues the British media for defamation

Prince Harry is in the midst of serious accusations made by a British News Portal. As a result, King Charles III’s youngest son has made the decision to pursue legal action, claiming that everything that has been reported is completely “inaccurate.”

Prince Harry’s lawyers asked a judge yesterday to rule that a tabloid newspaper has been slandering the Duke of Sussex and his wife after the portal stated the ex-royal couple was demanding that the British government give them free security.

Harry sued the publisher of the Daily Mail, Associated Newspapers Ltd, due to an article that alleges he tried to silence another legal dispute over the British government’s refusal to allow him to pay for police security after he abandoned all royal duties in 2020.

Harry’s lawyer asked the judge, Matthew Nickin, to void the publisher’s defense or issue a summary trial, which would be judgment in favor of the plaintiff without having to attend the trial.

Justin Rushbrooke, Harry and Meghan’s lawyer, claimed that the circumstances did not support the defense’s contention that the article expressed an “honest opinion.” The article published against the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in February 2022 had the following headline:

“EXCLUSIVE: How Prince Harry tried to keep his legal fight with the government over police bodyguards a SECRET… then – just minutes after the story broke – his PR machine tried to put a positive spin on the dispute”.
