Prince Harry Drops Libel Claim Against 'Mail on Sunday' Publisher

The Duke of Sussex had sued over an article about his publicly funded security arrangements.

Prince Harry has decided to withdraw a libel suit he had against the Mail on Sunday publisher over an article regarding his publicly funded security arrangements when visiting the United Kingdom after he and wife Meghan Markle stepped down from senior royal duties. After he dropped his libel suit this week, Harry's spokesperson released a statement to the BBC, noting, "His focus remains there, and on the safety of his family, rather than these legal proceedings that give a continued platform to the Mail's false claims all those years ago." In February 2022, the Mail on Sunday reported on Harry's legal battle against the Home Office over changes to his publicly funded security after he and Markle decided to move to the United States and no longer be senior royals.
