Judgment in the surveillance trial Costly slap for Prince Harry and Elton John versus Daily Mail

A Swiss news outlet reports on a UK court ruling that dismissed a privacy lawsuit by Prince Harry and other celebrities against Associated Newspapers, including the Daily Mail. The plaintiffs alleged that the publisher used phone hacking and private investigators in over 50 articles. The court ruled that they failed to sufficiently prove that information was obtained illegally or provided by third parties. The case involved significant financial stakes, with legal costs exceeding 53 million Swiss francs. Prince Harry has been engaged in a prolonged legal battle against British tabloid publishers, blaming them for his estrangement from the royal family and withdrawal from public life. This marks the last active lawsuit in his campaign against such publications.
