The Duke of Sussex has launched a libel action against the publisher of the Mail on Sunday over a story alleging that he lied about offering to pay for his UK police protection.

The claim was lodged with the High Court on Wednesday afternoon.

What another one!!

It’s more of the case of why on earth do the Mail keep on making stories up?

Allsorts Sat 26-Feb-22 22:05:09

Oh my goodness! Harry and Megan are so embarrassing. Hope this latest one is thrown out of court. Why do newspapers keep writing about them. No one is interested. I wonder are they considered royal in USA.?

I have a feeling if the words Duke and Duchess were removed life in the USA would be rather different. Mr and Mrs do not have the same ring or open the same doors.

I'm sure somebody could get a psychology PhD out of this.

Why do people tell lies about them and print them?
Another opportunity to put the boot in folks!

BlueBalou Sun 27-Feb-22 07:19:58

Why the heck doesn’t this tiresome twerp just shut up?
Or is he running out of money?

Whitewavemark2 Sun 27-Feb-22 07:22:43

I expect GN will be next given the lunatic posts we get on here.

If the Mail on Sunday printed lies about Prince Harry, then he has every right to sue them.

Would anyone let this go if it was about them?

nanna8 Sun 27-Feb-22 08:07:38

Surprised he reads it or gives a toss what they write. I thought he was a bit better than that.

Ladyleftfieldlover Sun 27-Feb-22 08:16:34

Come on, it’s about time the tabloids were called out on their lies! I am right with Harry on this. Just because he was born Royal doesn’t mean he can’t sue. I’m sure the Cambridge’s have sued too. Don’t you remember when Catherine was sunbathing topless and she was filmed from about three miles away? At the other extreme, the Queen Mother’s mantra was to never explain or complain. I’m not sure that’s the way forward.

What, more inflammatory lies in the Daily Mail? Hard to believe I know. Much easier to put the boot into the victim of those lies.

His family didn’t sue him or his wife for their lies in the Oprah

Good point Annie

LadyGracie Sun 27-Feb-22 08:34:45

Agree Annie.

Stories about H & M are all grist to the Mail's publicity mill and help sell newspapers; the paper knows exactly what it is doing and this unpleasant couple rises to the bait every time.

M0nica Sun 27-Feb-22 08:38:40

How do people know this is a lie?

Casdon Sun 27-Feb-22 08:41:00

It’s not the same thing though is it? Harry said what he said in person. The Mail is accused of making up a story and printing it. That’s pernicious, and he is correct to sue them if they have printed lies about him.

LadyGracie Sun 27-Feb-22 08:42:38

Yes how?
They seem to me to be a publicity seeking manipulative couple, not at all likeable.
The simpering looks they share, they make me cringe.

Anniebach Sun 27-Feb-22 08:46:40

A lie is a lie , if the Mail has made up a story why is it different to the lies on Oprah?

lemsip Sun 27-Feb-22 08:48:42

because a person sues for libel doesn't mean they will win! it has to be proven in court and both sides heard! don't just assume the other party lied!
