Prince Harry became the talk of the town because of his heated confrontation with Mail on Sunday after he assured that they lied about the prince, keeping his disagreement with the Home Office a secret by manipulating public opinion. The libel case became a public matter and when it reached its climax, Prince Harry decided to abandon it.
The Duke of Sussex’s latest defeat came even after his legal team and himself had to pass over a list of relevant documents to demonstrate the grievous accusations he made last year. However, just hours before the deadline, Prince Harry stepped back facing a $952,799.25 legal bill.
The prince’s legal team informed the High Court at 10 am he was “discontinuing” his case. Previously, Harry’s lawyer, Schillings was so confident to ask Judge Nicklin to have the case ruled in the duke’s favor without even having a trial. However, Nicklin rejected the request because Mail demonstrated that the statements issued on the prince’s behalf were misleading on Sunday.
As part of the normal legal process, the two parties had the duty to disclose any documents that were relevant to the case to the other side. However, the documents never came, but the note that ‘The Duke of Sussex discontinues all of this claim.’ did. This is a major defeat for Prince Harry, who is trying to rebuild his reputation and image in the United States.
