Details of the Duke of Sussex’s latest legal claim against the publishers of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday are coming to light
Prince Harry is suing Daily papers over an article published in February.
His barrister said the story about a dispute over his family’s security arrangements tried to manipulate public opinion.
But the publisher of Daily Mail said it contained “no hint of impropriety” and was not defamatory.
The story, published in the Mail on Sunday and online, referred to the prince’s separate legal case against the Home Office over security arrangements when he and his family are in the UK.
Prince Harry says it caused him “substantial hurt, embarrassment and distress, which is continuing”.
The prince’s barrister said the article suggested he had “lied in his initial public statements” by claiming to have always been willing to pay for police protection in the UK.
