Prince Harry has lost his privacy case against the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday in London. The High Court in London ruled against the allegations made against Associated Newspapers Ltd., which also affected Prince Harry and six other claimants including Elton John, David Furnish, Elizabeth Hurley, and Sadie Frost.

Judge Nicklin decided that more evidence was needed to substantiate the claims against the Daily Mail publisher. The High Court dismissed all allegations made against Associated Newspapers. The publisher described the court ruling as a "major victory for the Daily Mail and its journalists," while acknowledging the accuracy of the evidence they presented regarding how they obtained their stories.

Prince Harry and the other claimants had accused the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday of "serious breaches of privacy" and other illegal actions. These allegations included the interception of voicemails, tapping phone lines, bribing police officers, and the surveillance of celebrities' homes. Associated Newspapers rejected these claims as "excessive" and "absurd."

Prince Harry traveled from his home in California to London to hear the court ruling, and then continued with his schedule to participate in the upcoming Invictus Games events. Previously successful in other privacy cases, Prince Harry had reached a settlement with the publisher of The Sun, owned by Rupert Murdoch, in January 2025 and received an apology.
