Prince Harry joins Meghan in filing lawsuit against UK newspaper

Prince Harry joins Meghan in filing lawsuit against UK newspaper

Meghan's own separate lawsuit against the paper is in relation to published handwritten letters she wrote to her estranged father
08 Dec, 2020

Prince Harry is suing the publishers of a British newspaper for libel, joining his wife Meghan who is separately suing them over breach of copyright and data protection, British media reported on Monday.

A spokesman for Harry, grandson of Queen Elizabeth, declined to comment. Associated Newspapers, publishers of the Mail on Sunday, could not immediately be reached.

According to reports in several British newspapers, Harry’s lawyers filed a libel action at the end of November over a Mail on Sunday article published in October.

The article said that the prince had lost touch with the Royal Marines, a commando force of the British navy with whom he had a formal relationship during his time as a working royal, since stepping back from royal duties earlier this year.

Harry, who served in the armed forces for a decade before taking on the role of a full-time senior royal, had been appointed as Captain General Royal Marines by his grandmother in 2017.

As part of an arrangement negotiated with the queen and other senior royals, he had to give up the title in March, when he moved to the United States with Meghan and the couple’s son Archie. British media reported at the time he was upset at having to relinquish the military connections, which he highly valued.

Meghan’s own separate lawsuit against the Mail on Sunday publishers is in relation to articles published in 2019 that included parts of a handwritten letter she sent to her estranged father, Thomas Markle, in 2018.

@Talat sharif Harry is happy and they both are happy as a loving couple. They chose to be free human beings instead of living in chains of royal etiquettes. A very bold couple who could choose what they wished togather. Why you are so negative?

Trying to stay relevant after quitting the royal family and its perks? Go away, you two. So sick of her. I am not even into monarchies but Megan made an absolute mockery of the Royal family. The wedding was like a circus. And now she takes the prince away from his family. Not OK.
