The Duke of Sussex's case against the Daily Mail publisher will go to trial

Prince Harry "won't give up" with taking the British press to court, according to a royal commentator.

Earlier today, a High Court judge allowed the Duke of Sussex and others' claims against the publisher of the Daily Mail to go to trial.


The Duke of Sussex, Baroness Doreen Lawrence and Sir Elton John admitted they were “delighted” after a High Court judge allowed their claims against the publisher of the Daily Mail to continue.

The three are among a group of high-profile individuals, including David Furnish, Sadie Frost, Liz Hurley and Sir Simon Hughes, who are bringing legal action against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL).

Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal commentator, spoke exclusively to GB News about how Prince Harry would have reacted to today's announcement.

“Now, obviously this is a continuation of that.”

When asked about all the cases that Prince Harry has brought to trial against the British press, Fitzwilliams claimed: “He won't give up.

“And remember he's driven by what happened to his mother, and also by his personal belief, which hasn't wavered in this over the years.

“One can say a lot about the Sussexes and their attitude to the Royal Family and the way they've behaved as far as this is concerned.

“As far as Harry is personally concerned, he's been totally consistent.”
