Prince Harry has lost his latest legal battle, this time against the publisher of the Daily Mail.

The Duke and six others, including Sir Elton John and Liz Hurley, had claimed the newspaper had used illegal tactics to obtain stories about them. The Daily Mail strenuously denied those allegations.

The newspaper said the ruling was a victory for “free press”. But The Duke of Sussex and fellow claimant Baroness Doreen Lawrence said it was “a complete and obvious whitewash”.
