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.
