Prince Harry and one of Britain’s biggest media publishers have agreed a temporary pause in his libel claim to try to settle the case.

The Duke of Sussex sued the publisher in February over an article in the Mail on Sunday newspaper which alleged he tried to keep secret details of his legal fight with Britain’s interior ministry to reinstate his police protection.

Harry says the Mail on Sunday published an “unremittingly negative” article about his ongoing case against the Home Office.

The High Court ruled it was defamatory in July.

Associated Newspapers, however, argues that the article contains “an expression of opinion” about Harry’s public statements on his legal case over police protection and is defending the libel lawsuit.

The case returned to court for a preliminary hearing on Tuesday at which Harry’s lawyer Jane Phillips said the parties have agreed to put the case on hold until mid-January in order to try and negotiate a settlement “if that is indeed possible”.

Further information

Associated Newspapers applied for Harry to provide further information about a meeting at the royal Sandringham estate in January 2020, when he says he made an offer to pay for or contribute to police protection.

Judge Barbara Fontaine ruled that Harry’s lawyers should provide “clarification” about the offer he says he made, which she added would “assist the parties … in the attempts about [a] settlement, which I hope are successful”.

A photo used in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new Netflix documentary has critics going wild

A photo used in the Netflix trailer of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been deemed ‘fake’ by some.

In the trailer for the famous couple’s documentary, it shows them being hounded by the press.

Critics have suggested the pair used a fake image, portraying the paparazzi in a negative light.

But The Sun reports the shot was actually taken from the premiere of a Harry Potter film.

If this is true, it means the shot was actually filmed years before the pair event met.

Some royal experts believe Netflix have been careless in the process. The pair are yet to comment on the claims.

The documentary is set to air on December 8, 2022.
