So in the last week Prince Harry has been ordered to pay court costs of £50,000 and within a few days, been awarded damages of around £130,000.
Interesting times indeed.

Some posters need to stop criticising other posters,

Dr Watson - 👍🏻

Glory, Siope, Casdon , vegansrock, - thanks for trying to keep some focus on the law. Any mention of H or M really winds those sone posters up.

DrWatson Thu 21-Dec-23 04:07:07

For EazyBee and MaddyOne - and more- whilst sounding off about Harry, who knows what trauma he had when losing his mother? And he has at least done some good, here and there, in the Forces, and his Invictus venture.

Morgan however is just a disgusting arrogant self-promoter, and it beggars belief that he didn't know about hacking, and to that end, PLEASE DO READ this piece :- bylinetimes.com/2020/01/21/piers-morgan-and-phone-hacking-what-even-he-cant-deny/ [maybe someone had shown the judge this piece?!]

DrWatson Thu 21-Dec-23 03:56:54

For MaddyOne (& quite a few more) -- Morgan wasn't called to give evidence, but the Mirror defence team DID NOT CALL HIM EITHER.

He STILL refuses to admit his involvement in the Mirror phone hacking scandal, when he was editor, even though the owner acknowledged it years ago, and they've paid out zillions in damages. So odd that a guy who claims to be shrewd, all-knowing and so very clever would never wonder how those juicy stories kept appearing? [Oh, and he got caught falsifying those Army pictures too, lovely chap that quite a few still want to support?]

We all knew it would descend into an anti Harry bitchfest.

Nob’s knob haha😹

Sorry Siope and Casdon.
This is really another blow against the government, who had happily abandoned the second part of Leveson, as well as against the press. There hasn't been a great deal made of it in the news though.

Casdon Wed 20-Dec-23 20:08:08

Siope

This was a judgement that has implications, and interesting discussion points, about so many facets of how the media , its ethics, its governance, its rights and responsibilities… and we have thread that is now fixated on a nob’s knob. Sheesh.

I’ve tried several times but now given up Siope.

It was Harry's life story not mine. If I was writing mine I'd put into it anything I wanted, I accord him the same right,
If you were writing yours would you miss things out, or put in what you wanted?

Well I certainly wouldn't feel the need to publicise a medical procedure my brother went through, that I only knew about because of my privileged family connection. I would mention having a brother and some of our publicly known shared experiences.

I wonder how Harry would have felt if William released details of Archie's birth, the one they were desperate to micro manage publicity wise. I'd have expected cries of breach of privacy from the Sussexes if that had happened.

Was William there when Archie was born? I didn't know that.

You think Harry was present at William's circumcision? How very strange. One of my sons needed a medical circumcision, I wasn't present in the operating theatre when it happened.

Presumably the Sussexes told the family she was in labour and that Archie had been born. The public announcement was somewhat delayed.

Was Harry there when William’s circumcision was done?

Yes Glorianny, you’re right, it was Harry’s life story. So why was he writing William’s life story?

Ok, then expect to be sued!!

Lexisgranny Wed 20-Dec-23 13:28:11

Personally I would doubt the integrity of anyone who stooped so low as to reveal another person’s intimate medical details.
But there again, standards vary.

Rosie51 Wed 20-Dec-23 11:39:48

Glorianny still avoiding explaining how William's circumcision is pertinent to Harry's life story? Or will you finally admit that it was gratuitous and unnecessary to publicise it, breaching his right to privacy?

lemsip this is not a discussion about the health benefits or otherwise of circumcision, but the appropriateness of disclosing such private details about another person. Can you not understand?

Anniebach Wed 20-Dec-23 11:30:32

The subject should be dropped ,

maddyone Wed 20-Dec-23 11:28:33

It’s obvious to anyone that the question of circumcision is a private matter and it’s got nothing to do with this thread. Anyone who thinks circumcision is not private needs to have a look at their values, because those values need adjusting.

Anniebach Wed 20-Dec-23 11:19:59

Harry wrote of circumcision so the question is ‘how low can Harry stoop’

lemsip Wed 20-Dec-23 11:10:46

shouldn't this be on the Health forum? circumcision.

how low has this thread stooped.? give it a rest!

Smileless2012 Wed 20-Dec-23 11:07:54

A circumcision carried out due to religious beliefs is entirely different. William's was in all likelihood done for medical reasons but that's irrelevant. If W wanted the world to know, it should have been left to him to publicise it.

As Rosie's asked, what does his circumcision have to do with H's life and H's 'truth'?

Fleurpepper Wed 20-Dec-23 11:03:11

And that should be illegal- enf of (ooops, unfortunate- but will leave it there (ooops, yes, wish they did, unless medically required).

nanna8 Wed 20-Dec-23 10:54:35

Doesn’t here- lots of babies still get circumcised on day 8. Not necessarily by a doctor,sometimes a rabbi.
