Prince Harry’s recent legal endeavors include lawsuits against various newspaper groups and the Home Office, following the withdrawal of his specialized police protection when he and Meghan relocated to California in 2020.

Meanwhile, since 2024, the US President has taken legal action against ABC, CBS, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, among others.

The pre-trial hearing last week was part of a lawsuit filed by Prince Harry and six other prominent figures against the publishers of the Daily Mail newspaper, alleging illegal information gathering dating back three decades.

Associated Newspapers (ANL) – which also publishes The Mail on Sunday and MailOnline – vehemently denies any misconduct.

In addition to Prince Harry, other notable individuals involved in the lawsuit include Sir Elton John, his husband David Furnish, actresses Sadie Frost and Liz Hurley, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, and politician Sir Simon Hughes.

Drawing a comparison between Prince Harry’s legal strategy and that of former President Trump, UK-based lawyer Mark Stephens told Newsweek: “Prince Harry may have flirted with the courts, but Donald Trump has moved in, redecorated and claimed squatters’ rights.

“If litigation were a sport, Harry’s still in the amateur league while Trump’s playing in the Premiership. He’s just more litigious. Harry’s lawsuits are a bit like a royal garden party, occasional and well-mannered with, cucumber sandwiches. Trump’s on the other hand, resemble a baker’s buffet, endless, messy, burger-ridden, and everyone leaves feeling a little worse for wear.”
