Elton John, Prince Harry and a number of high-profile British celebrities have lost their lengthy trial against the Daily Mail newspaper in a judgement shared on Tuesday (July 7).
John was among the list of public figures who alleged that the Daily Mail and its sister magazine, Mail on Sunday, had unlawfully obtained information by hacking into their messages, tapping landlines or acquiring medical records. Both publications’ parent company, Associated Newspaper Limited (ANL), denied wrongdoing.
