Prince Harry is reportedly set to embark on yet another legal battle in the UK just days after returning back to the US after a brief appearance at the Queen’s Jubilee, reported Hello magazine.
While not an entirely new legal battle, a new update in his libel claim against a British publication is expected to bring Harry’s focus back to the UK.
According to the outlet, a High Court judge has started overseeing a preliminary hearing in the Duke of Sussex’s libel case against Mail on Sunday publishers Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) over an article about his case against the Home Office.
Prince Harry claims the article in question, in which the Mail on Sunday commented on another legal case of his over security issue in the UK, ‘allegedly caused him substantial hurt, embarrassment and distress which is continuing.’
Now, at a hearing on Thursday, Mr Justice Nicklin is expected to determine ‘the natural and ordinary meaning of parts of the article addressed in the claim’, as per Hello.
Nicklin is also expected to decide whether the statements in Harry’s claim are statements of fact or opinion or defamatory.
