In his lawsuit against the Mail, Prince Harry has won the first round
A High Court judge rules that parts of the article were defamatory.
Prince Harry is suing Associated Newspapers for libel.
The article alleged he tried to keep his legal fight over police protection secret from the British government.
In his legal battle with the Mail on Sunday publisher; Prince Harry has already won.
When he determined on Friday that a Mail on Sunday article on the royal’s legal dispute; with the British government over his police protection in the nation was defamatory; a High Court judge in London cleared the way for Harry to pursue his libel claim to trial.
The 37-year-old Duke of Sussex is suing Associated Newspapers for libel; after reading an article that said he sought to conceal the specifics of his court battle; to have his police protection restored in the U.K; and that his advisers subsequently attempted to portray the situation in a favourable light.
The piece was headlined, and it appeared in print and online publications in February; “How Harry fought to keep his court battle with bodyguards under wraps…; Then, shortly after MoS published the news, his PR team attempted to make the conflict; seem more favourable.”
Justice Nicklin determined that some of the content of the article in the claim was defamatory; according to court records acquired by PEOPLE. The headline, if “read alone,” implied that Harry; “was trying to keep his ‘legal struggle’ with the Government secret”; but Nicklin claimed that the piece “as a whole” did not support that claim.

Prince Harry’s attorneys requested permission from the High Court on Thursday; to request a judicial review of a Home Office decision that barred him; from directly paying for his family’s police protection when visiting the UK. Harry “does not feel secure” bringing his two children to the U.K.; according to his legal team, after losing his taxpayer-funded police protection; and the degree of security intelligence that came with it.
Regarding the security issue, the disputed Mail on Sunday article; claimed that Prince Harry had attempted to conceal legal action against the British Home Office; and that he had not offered to pay for his protection during a visit to the UK in June 2021; to dedicate a statue honouring his late mother, Princess Diana.
The decision, according to Judge Nicklin; was “very much the first phase of a libel suit,” she said.
The defendant will next have to provide a defence to the claim, he explained. It will be decided later on in the proceedings; whether the claim is successful or unsuccessful, and if unsuccessful, why.
Meghan Markle previously prevailed in her legal battle against the Mail on Sunday; for releasing a private letter she wrote to her father in 2018; and was awarded a symbolic £1 ($1.36) in damages.

The US dollar was seen losing ground against the rupee in interbank trading on Wednesday morning as it fell by 50 paisa, with analysts linking the development to optimism surrounding the expected release of loan tranches by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The rupee, which has been on an upward trend for more than a week now, continued strengthening against the dollar in the interbank market on Friday. By 10:05am, the local currency had gained Rs2.15 against the dollar to reach Rs224, up 0.95 per cent from yesterday’s close of Rs226.15. The rupee had been on a consistent decline from July 15 and fallen to a record low of 239.94 on July 28. But since July 29, it has reversed gears and its value had risen by Rs14.15 till yesterday (Aug 4). The biggest hike was seen on Wednesday (Aug 3), when the rupee appreciated by a record single-day gain of Rs9.59 or 4.19pc. This major gain by the rupee has brought exchange rate stability as currency dealers feel that the fluctuations would not be as volatile as were witnessed in July when the greenback gained over 13pc in a single month against the local currency.
