Prince Harry, who is due to return to Britain in January, has been issued with a dire warning as his legal battle against the British tabloids takes a major turn.
The Duke of Sussex, along with six other claimants, has accused the Mail’s publishers of gathering information on big names through illegal means.
As the trial date is set for January 14, 2026, Prince Harry’s legal team has urged caution with his “serious allegations” as they could “result in career-ending and possible criminal prosecution”. “. Via the Daily Mail.
British High Court judge Justice Nicklin told the claimants’ barrister David Sherborne to ensure that any evidence provided was “admissible” in court and “true and fair reflection of the underlying material”.
“You understand that the rules relating to such allegations, which are serious allegations, must be clearly stated and the claimants must have admissible evidence for the allegation, or reasonable grounds to assume so. This evidence will be available at trial,” he continued.
“If there is no evidence available in the case, it has to be withdrawn.”
Meanwhile, the publisher has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and vowed to “vigorously defend” the allegations against it.
