LONDON (UK ) – Britain’s Prince Harry has received an apology and substantial damages from the publishers of the Mail of Sunday newspaper on Monday. He had launched a legal action against the tabloid for libel over claims he had turned his back on the Royal Marines.
The article which was published in October said he had lost touch with the Marines, a commando force of the British navy with whom he had a formal relationship until he stepped back from royal duties last March.
His lawyer Jenny Afia told London’s High Court the paper had now settled with the prince over the “baseless, false and defamatory” story.
