Prince Harry has decided to drop his libel case against the Mail on Sunday newspaper, which could have resulted in him having to pay huge costs.The Duke of Sussex abandoned the case just hours before a key deadline, when his lawyers were due to hand over documents.
Harry, 39, sued Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) over a February 2022 article about his legal challenge against the Home Office following a decision to change his publicly funded security arrangements when visiting the UK.The duke’s lawyers claimed the story “purported to reveal, in sensational terms” that information from court documents “contradicted public statements he had previously made about his willingness to pay for police protection for himself and his family whilst in the UK”.
The duke’s lawyers previously said the story, which claimed Harry “tried to keep details of his legal battle to reinstate his police protection secret from the public”, was “an attack on his honesty and integrity”.
