Prince Harry withdraws libel case against newspaper and faces paying huge costs


Prince Harry has withdrawn his libel case against the Mail on Sunday newspaper and faces paying huge costs, on the day he was due to hand over documents relating to the claims

Harry, 39, sued Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) over a February 2022 article about his legal challenge against the Home Office following a decision to change his publicly funded security arrangements when visiting the UK. The duke’s lawyers claimed the story “purported to reveal, in sensational terms” that information from court documents “contradicted public statements he had previously made about his willingness to pay for police protection for himself and his family whilst in the UK”. Prince Harry has decided to drop his libel case against the Mail on Sunday newspaper, (Image: GETTY)ANL contested the claim, arguing the article expressed an “honest opinion” and did not cause “serious harm” to his reputation.
