Prince Harry’s lawsuit against a U.K newspaper could “undermine part of his narrative about the media” if he loses, Newsweek’s “The Royal Report” podcast has discussed. “I appreciate that case is one based (at this stage) solely upon inference, but ultimately this is an issue of fact.”

Judge Matthew Nicklin stated in a court filing on April 26, seen by Newsweek: “I have refused to direct trial of the issue of serious harm. The discussion follows recent developments in Harry’s case in which his lawyers requested a judge rule whether it passes the test of “serious harm.” This would determine whether the prince was reputationally damaged by the published story to an extent that it caused serious harm and is key to winning the case.


The prince has denied the claims made against him by the newspaper. That’s according to a discussion between chief royal correspondent Jack Royston and royal commentator Kristen Meinzer on the latest episode of Newsweek‘s The Royal Report podcast. Prince Harry’s latest lawsuit against The Mail on Sunday could “undermine” his narrative that “the media cause serious harm” if a judge finds that an article published by the newspaper claiming Harry “misled the public about his offer to pay for police protection” did not break the law.
