Judgment expected on July 7 in Prince Harry's legal battle against Mail publisher
The ruling could leave the losing side facing tens of millions of pounds in costs and damages, Reuters said.
- Prince Harry and six other high-profile figures await a verdict on Tuesday, July 7, in their privacy lawsuit against Associated Newspapers Limited over allegations of widespread unlawful information gathering.
- During a 10-week trial starting in January, claimants alleged the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday published stories between the 1990s and 2011 using unlawfully obtained information; ANL has strenuously denied these allegations.
- Claimants allege private investigators engaged in "blagging," hacking phones, and tapping landlines to obtain confidential records. Associated Newspapers admitted minor data breaches while testifying but denied systemic unlawful activities.
- Legal teams estimate costs could reach tens of millions, with the losing side bearing the burden. Harry told the court the media coverage caused "an absolute misery," demanding accountability and an apology.
- Harry and Meghan Markle are planning to bring Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the U.K. in July, as this lawsuit marks The Duke's final active case challenging British tabloid practices.
