Prince Harry has called out a UK High Court decision to dismiss his and six others' years-long lawsuit against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) as a "complete and obvious whitewash." Harry and fellow claimant Baroness Doreen Lawrence said in a statement that they came to court seeking justice and accountability but received neither. They alleged that the court showed "inconsistency which is hard to understand or reconcile with common sense" by dismissing the evidence heard during the trial. The Duke of Sussex and Lawrence said they feel the court has "one rule for the newspapers and another for the claimants," claiming that while they presented evidence, Mail journalists simply gave denials which the court chose to believe. Judge Matthew Nicklin ruled that the claimants had not proven that the information used by ANL for its articles was not obtained unlawfully. Harry filed the lawsuit in 2022, claiming the company used listening devices and hired private detectives to illegally obtain information.
