Prince Harry’s life seems to be spiraling out of control as he faces a major setback after losing a court battle.
A High Court judge criticised his testimony, highlighting its “lack of credibility” and dismissing his phone-hacking claim against The Sun.
The ruling, the first time a royal’s evidence has been questioned so thoroughly, called Harry’s case “inconsistent” and lacking supporting evidence.
The judgment has plunged the prince into a crisis and has tarnished his reputation even further.
Adding to his troubles, a lucrative deal between Harry and his wife Meghan and Spotify collapsed after just one podcast series, with a Spotify executive reportedly calling them “grifters.”
U.S. gossip sites have also alleged marriage problems between the couple, although these claims have been denied by their representatives.
Legal battles
The Duke of Sussex’s legal battles have been piling up, and sources indicate that he is facing difficulties in coping with the situation. Concerns have been raised within his family about his determination to continue with legal battles.
His attempt to use a “secret agreement” between Buckingham Palace and newspaper executives to explain his delayed legal action was deemed implausible by the judge.
The court’s dismissal of his phone-hacking claim dealt a significant blow to Harry, but he was granted the right to sue News Group Newspapers over alleged illegal story-gathering. The legal battle is far from over, and both sides have secured victories so far.
The judgment has further strained Harry’s public image and raised questions about his credibility. It remains to be seen how he will navigate the aftermath of this legal setback and the reported marriage problems while trying to rebuild his reputation and personal life.
