Prince Harry's High-Stakes Legal Battle with U.K. Tabloids

Despite recent victory against Mirror Group, the Duke of Sussex faces potential million-dollar losses in ongoing lawsuit against The Sun.

  • Prince Harry is embroiled in a high-stakes legal battle with U.K. tabloid The Sun, owned by the Murdoch family, over allegations of unlawful practices, including phone hacking and obtaining private information.
  • Despite part of his claim being dismissed for being filed too late, Prince Harry is set to take the rest of his case to trial, risking significant financial costs if he loses.
  • The Sun is preparing to challenge the case on a technicality, potentially forcing Prince Harry to pay millions in legal fees even if his central claim is true.
  • Prince Harry recently won a lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers over similar allegations, being awarded £140,600 in damages, but a significant portion of his claim remains unresolved.
  • Prince Harry's legal team is seeking to recover almost £2million in costs from the Mirror Group trial, and is prepared to take the unresolved portion of the claim to a second trial if necessary.
