00:00It's bad news for Prince Harry, King Charles III's second son just learned that he lost his privacy lawsuit against
00:06one of the world's biggest tabloids.
00:08The Duke of Sussex had sued the Daily Mail's UK publisher, Associated Newspapers Limited, for allegedly unlawfully obtaining information about
00:16him.
00:16However, a UK high court judge ruled against him and six other defendants, including Elizabeth Hurley, Elton John, and Sadie
00:24Frost.
00:24They accused the publishing giant of illegally using listening devices placed in cars and homes, as well as private detectives,
00:32to obtain private information.
00:33Harry claimed they targeted him and his close circle by tapping landlines, voicemails, flight information, and phone bills.
00:41Associated newspapers denied the allegations and claimed that the information was legitimately sourced.
00:46During the 10-week trial, Prince Harry's flirty Facebook DMs from 2011 and 2012 were aired between him and journalist
00:54Charlotte Griffiths, who wrote for Mail on Sunday.
00:57This was long before he met Meghan Markle.
00:59The father of two also took the stand during the trial and described his wife's time as a royal as
01:04absolute misery.
01:05It's fundamentally wrong to put us through this again, when all we wanted was an apology and accountability.
01:12It's a horrible experience.
01:13They continue to come after me.
01:15They have made my wife's life an absolute misery.
01:17My lord.
01:18He also spoke about his previous romance with Chelsea Davy from 2004 to 2010, alleging that the publication received private
01:25information about their relationship by hacking voicemails.
01:29However, those claims were dismissed, concluding Prince Harry's years-long legal battle with the British press.
01:34He and Markle previously received settlements from Mail on Sunday and The Sun, which shares the same parent company as
01:41Page Six.
01:42Despite the defeat, a spokesperson told People that Harry was really happy to be back in the UK, and he
01:47was in good form at the premiere of his dear friend Missan Harriman's documentary, Shoot the People.
01:53Notably, Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, were not in tow, as they were denied
01:59taxpayer-funded security.
02:01Harry's rep also told Page Six that his invitation to stay at Buckingham Palace during his visit was withdrawn at
02:07the last moment, after he formally accepted it.
