Prince Harry's Legal Team Seeks Release of Confidential Files in Privacy Lawsuit Against Daily Mail

The ledgers, detailing payments to private investigators, were disclosed confidentially to the Leveson Inquiry and are now at the center of the ongoing legal battle.

  • Prince Harry and six other celebrities are suing Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), the publishers of the Daily Mail, for alleged breaches of privacy.
  • The lawsuit revolves around ledgers detailing payments to private investigators that the Mail disclosed to the Leveson Inquiry, a UK public inquiry into the conduct of the press.
  • ANL has refused to hand over the records, arguing that they were given confidentially to the Leveson Inquiry and should remain so.
  • Harry's legal team plans to write to a minister to ask for the files to be officially released, as they believe the ledgers could support their claims.
  • ANL denies allegations of involvement in hacking and argues that the legal challenges were brought too late.
