"Harry is one of six other high-profile figures, including Sir Elton John and Liz Hurley, accusing the Daily Mail's publisher of grave breaches of privacy. The allegations include bugging homes, phone-hacking and dishonestly gathering medical and financial information. Associated Newspapers has denied any wrongdoing, dismissing the allegations as "preposterous smears" and claiming the legal action is "a fishing expedition by [the] claimants and their lawyers"."
"Prince Harry has had a turbulent relationship with the British media, particularly following the tragic death of his mother, Princess Diana in 1997, who was killed in a car crash while being pursued by paparazzi. The 41-year-old and his wife Meghan Markle cited media harassment as one of the main reasons why they decided to step down from royal duties and move to California in 2020."
Prince Harry is among six high-profile claimants, including Sir Elton John and Liz Hurley, bringing legal action against Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers for alleged grave privacy breaches. The claims allege bugging of homes, phone-hacking and dishonest collection of medical and financial information, and cover 14 articles. Associated Newspapers denies wrongdoing, labeling the claims "preposterous smears" and a "fishing expedition". A draft timetable indicates Prince Harry may not give evidence until Thursday. Harry has pursued multiple lawsuits against British tabloids since 2019 and previously won damages from Mirror Group Newspapers in 2023. Harry and Meghan cited press intrusion as a reason for relocating to California in 2020.
