High Court ruling awaited in Prince Harry's Daily Mail privacy case
The UK High Court will rule on Tuesday in the privacy case brought by Prince Harry, Elton John and other well-known figures against Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers. The claimants allege the newspaper used unlawful information gathering methods from the 1990s to the 2010s.
The UK High Court will deliver its ruling on Tuesday in the privacy case brought by Prince Harry and five other well-known figures, including Elton John, against Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers.
The case is based on allegations that Associated Newspapers used unlawful information gathering methods that violated privacy from the early 1990s to the 2010s.
Hearing process and the parties' claims
Prince Harry, who stepped back from royal duties, gave evidence at the High Court in January. In a hearing that made history as the first time a royal had testified in court in 130 years, Harry said the Daily Mail had made his wife Meghan's life "utterly miserable".
Associated Newspapers dismissed the allegations as "absurd". The publisher argued that the approximately 50 articles at issue were based on lawful sources such as friends, royal advisers and publicists who provided information to journalists.
High financial stakes
The financial stakes of the case are very high for both sides. Legal costs are expected to run into tens of millions of pounds, with the losing party likely to bear the litigation expenses and substantial damages payable if the claimants succeed.
Harry's legal battle with the press
This case marks the Duke of Sussex's third legal battle against the British press. In January 2025, the prince reached a settlement with Rupert Murdoch's newspapers; the publisher apologized for intruding into his private life for over a decade and agreed to pay substantial damages.
Harry also won a case against Mirror Group Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mirror, over unlawful information gathering methods including phone hacking.
The High Court is expected to deliver its ruling at 16:00 Turkish time (13:00 GMT).
