Victory - at least partial - before British justice for Prince Harry in one of the lawsuits brought by him and his wife Meghan against some English tabloids.
A judge at the High Court in London has in fact condemned the publisher of the Daily Mirror, accused by the Duke of Sussex of having "illegally collected information" on his private life and of having carried out "large-scale telephone interceptions from 2006 to 2011".
In the trial (where the second son of King Charles III himself testified, the first time in history) the newspaper's defense denied the substance of the accusations, defined as "late" and "the result of inferences", but judge Timothy Fancourt, in his verdict , recognized as "proven" the illegal collection of information on the prince in at least 15 of the 33 articles reported.
Fancourt then ordered Harry to pay £140,600 in compensation, while his lawyers had asked for £320,000.
After the sentence, Prince Harry, through his lawyers, defined himself as "happy" for having managed to "slay the dragon", in his opinion represented by the tabloids that were too intrusive and never kept the "rebels" with him and his wife. of House of Windsor.
