Harry, 41, and other celebs have sued the Daily Mail’s publisher for alleged illegal activities.<\/b>
\nPrince Harry\u2019s third legal battle against the British tabloids began Monday in London, the last scheduled courtroom confrontation between the exiled royal and the British press.
Harry, 41, attended Monday\u2019s proceedings in person and is expected to testify Thursday, the first witness in the case that was joined by Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley and other prominent names.
The celebrities filed suit against Associated Newspapers Ltd., which owns the Daily Mail and its sister publications. They claim the papers engaged in a \u201cclear, systematic and sustained use of unlawful information gathering\u201d over several years.
It was \u201cdisturbing to feel that my every move, thought or feeling was being tracked and monitored just for the Mail to make money out of it,\u201d Harry said in the statement.
Associated has denied all the allegations, and company lawyers argued Monday that Harry\u2019s case was \u201cin reality little more than guesswork \u2014 it involves jumping to conclusions based on insufficient evidence.\u201d
Harry has expressed his disdain for the British press for several years, blaming them in part for the death of his mother, Princess Diana, and the fractures in the royal family.
In 2023, he won a case against the publishers of the Daily Mirror and its related papers, and in January 2025 he reached a settlement with The Sun\u2019s publisher, which involved a \u201csubstantial\u201d payment, along with a public apology and admission of wrongdoing by the paper.
