Though Harry has taken action over recent stories, the suit against Associated Newspapers deals with a much earlier era, from 1993 to 2018, according to a skeleton argument filed by the plaintiffs. The company apologized to the duchess, who was awarded symbolic damages of £1. The outlet also paid an unspecified sum for infringing on Meghan’s copyright by publishing parts of the letter. In 2021, Meghan won a case against Associated Newspapers over a letter she sent to her father, Thomas Markle. For more than three years, Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have waged multiple legal battles with various British newspapers over their tactics. Though a source told Vanity Fair that the prince had no plans to see his brother, Prince William, or father, King Charles III, during his time in the UK, his presence is proof of his determination to take on his home country’s tabloid media. But Harry flew in from California and took a seat next to his coplaintiffs in the case, a group of public figures including Sir Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley, Sadie Frost, and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, to hear his lawyers present evidence, and he returned to court on Tuesday and Thursday. Though Harry signed onto legal action against Associated Newspapers, the parent company of the Daily Mail, last October, the court convened a preliminary hearing this week, meaning that Harry did not need to be in the courtroom. When Prince Harry walked into a London courtroom Monday morning, it was a surprise to the journalists with their cameras trained on the door.
