Prince Harry seemed in high spirits today as he arrived at High Court
The Duke of Sussex has reappeared at the High Court as his lawyers resisted an “ambitious” and “unattractive” bid by the publisher of the Daily Mail to end his legal action against it.
The publisher’s lawyers have argued the group, which includes Sir Elton John, his husband David Furnish and Baroness Lawrence of Clarendon, could have used “reasonable diligence” to discover they had a potential “worthwhile” claim earlier. He accused the publisher of seeking an “impermissible mini-trial or worse” before further documentation and evidence was secured in the cases.
He told the court the group were “thrown off the scent by the way in which the articles were written”. Mr Furnish was present in court again on Thursday, following visits this week from his husband, Ms Frost and Baroness Lawrence – a campaigner and mother of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence.
