UK High Court dismisses Prince Harry's privacy lawsuit against Daily Mail publisher.
Justice Matthew Nicklin ruled that Prince Harry and six other claimants failed to prove their allegations of unlawful information gathering against Associated Newspapers Limited. The judge stated that suspicion was insufficient and that there was a realistic possibility the stories came from legitimate sources. The ruling ends Harry's trilogy of lawsuits against British tabloids.
