Prince Harry to hear High Court ruling in privacy case against Daily Mail publisher

journalismJul 7, 202632349

Prince Harry returned to the UK ahead of a High Court judgment in his privacy lawsuit against Associated Newspapers Limited, publisher of the Daily Mail, with a decision expected at 2pm. The Duke of Sussex and a group of other high-profile claimants, including Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Sir Elton John and David Furnish, accuse the publisher of unlawful information gathering such as voicemail interception and blagging. At his January hearing Harry told the court ANL had put his life under surveillance, accused the publisher of “delving into every single aspect of my private life, listening in to calls, blagging flights” and said the litigation had driven him to the verge of tears. The trial was heard in the High Court in London and was described during coverage as a major, lengthy privacy battle. The ruling will determine whether those claims succeed and resolve the claims brought by Harry and the other named plaintiffs against ANL.

On the day we all hope Prince Harry et al rinse the Daily Mail and Associated Newspapers in the High Court, a reminder of that filthy rag's pre-World Cup take on Jude Bellingham.

More credibility on the back of a box of coco pops from Aldi no disrespect to Aldi- just saying. Wouldn’t trust the Kelloggs to be fair. Long live king Harry!

Am surprised they didn’t go full dog whistle and describe him as ‘uppity’

The mail is a shitrag. It’s football coverage is thinly veiled or puff or schoolboy crap like this.

Judgment in Harry v Daily Mail case, the final one of the big three* "phone hacking" cases, is due at 2pm. I covered early stages of it and have a feeling you might see a very smug Paul Dacre but who knows. *Mirror lost badly, Sun settled at great expense, Mail faced very different accusations...

There's going to be a big risk of someone pressing the wrong button at 2pm on the prewritten articles and we find out that Prince Harry is stepping down as leader of Reform.

2pm is shaping up to be quite the event horizon.

Whatever you think of Prince Harry, I'd rather see him smug in victory than the reptilian beast that is Dacre. However, given the difference in the cases, I fear you may be right.....

"Palace sources also say they have concerns about Prince Harry staying in a royal residence on the day that the judgment is handed down in his long-running High Court case against the Daily Mail publishers." You'd sooner stay at a premier inn wouldn't you than give these gossipy shrews more ammo

Rooting for a Harry win today. I thought you despised the Royals, and gingers in general. I do despise the Royals but I actively fucking hate the Daily Mail. And gingers? Some of my best friends are gingers. Lol, like you've got friends.

Disappointed and surprised by this. The normal assumption would be that whoever is suing the Daily Mail is probably in the right. #mail #court BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9... Prince Harry loses High Court case against Mail publisher - follow live - BBC News

What? He’s suing and so are tons of other plaintiffs like High Grant and Elton John for the Daily Mail hacking their phones and reporting lies on them in the media.

Belgium trouncing the US, Le Pen guilty, Farage folding like a deck chair the second he faces some scrutiny, and that Prince Harry court case is being judged today so there's hope the Daily Mail will finally face some consequences for their diabolical actions. Not a bad day.
