High Court backs Daily Mail's ‘honest opinion’, rules out Prince Harry in the libel lawsuit
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has faced a setback in his libel lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mail tabloid. Prince Harry, aged 39 and the younger son of King Charles III, is contesting the government’s policy of providing security on a case-by-case basis during his visits to Britain. Prince Harry maintains that the article was “fundamentally inaccurate” and defamed him by implying he was dishonest in his initial public statements about the legal challenge. Prince Harry's legal sagaOn the other hand, the government defends its action to withdraw full-time protection for Prince Harry, citing his resignation from his senior royal role. A government attorney argued that police officers should not serve as “private bodyguards for the wealthy.”The dispute with the Daily Mail is one of four ongoing lawsuits Prince Harry has filed against British tabloid publishers.
