Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and six other celebrities lose a High Court privacy case against Associated Newspapers Limited, the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. Multiple outlets report that the judge dismisses the claims after the claimants fail to prove their privacy was breached.

NDTV and other reports describe arguments made on behalf of Harry’s legal team. Attorney David Sherborne says the newspapers and their related methods amounted to “clear, systematic and sustained use of unlawful information gathering,” including through journalists, freelance reporters and private investigators for snooping on clients. However, the court does not uphold the allegations advanced in the lawsuit.

BBC News, the Independent, and regional papers including the Sydney Morning Herald and Brisbane Times all describe the outcome as a costly legal defeat, with the judge rejecting the claims and the case ending Harry’s latest attempt in this line of proceedings against the Mail publisher. France 24 adds that it is presented as the third and final case brought by Harry in his broader legal campaign against British tabloids, further straining his relations with the royal family.
