US EditionPrince Harry Says Mail Publisher Made His Wife Meghan's 'Life a Misery'
Prince Harry described the Daily Mail's unlawful information gathering as causing distress to Meghan Markle and others, with seven high-profile claimants seeking legal accountability.
- Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, concluded his testimony on Jan. 21, 2026, at London's High Court, saying Associated Newspapers Ltd made Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex's life an absolute misery and demanding apology and accountability.
- Prince Harry said he was driven to sue after what he described as 'vicious' and 'sometimes racist' coverage from late 2016 and traveled from his California home to seek press accountability.
- The lawsuit alleges systematic unlawful newsgathering dating back to the period from at least 1993 to 2018, including private investigators, 'blagging', phone tapping, with Harry focusing on 14 articles from 2001–2013 while Associated Newspapers Ltd said roughly 50 articles cited legitimate sources.
- The prince's testimony turned emotional, with his voice breaking as Justice Matthew Nicklin told Prince Harry, `You don't have to bear the burden of arguing the case today` during more than two hours of questioning.
- The case, described as Harry's final active suit, follows prior settlements including The Sun publisher apology and eight-figure payment, and is part of a nine-week trial with other claimants including Elton John, Liz Hurley and Doreen Lawrence.
