Are you ready to call it a day? Prince Harry launches legal battle again, sues Daily Mail

Prince Harry had just publicly declared that he wanted to "put an end to it" with the British media, but Prince Harry turned around and slapped himself in the face! Appointed lawyers confirmed on Friday (6th) that Britain's Prince Harry, legendary singer Elton John and actress Elizabeth Hurley, among others, have formally applied to the court for permission to appeal in an attempt to revive the Daily Mail's privacy infringement lawsuit that was previously dismissed, once again setting off a legal battle between him and the British tabloids.

"Reuters" reported that Harry, who returned to the United Kingdom from the United States with his wife and children in August this year, only claimed in an exclusive interview with "GQ" magazine last month that he hoped to reconcile with his father Charles III and the royal family, and even expressed his hope to mend the tense relationship with the British media. At the time, Harry said: "We have indeed experienced some inevitable battles in the past, but I hope we can all put an end to this." But now he has once again joined forces with many celebrities to file an appeal.

The lawsuit began when Harry and seven other plaintiffs accused Associated Newspapers, the parent company of the Daily Mail, of allegedly hiring private investigators to conduct a series of illegal intelligence searches from 1993 to 2011. However, in July this year, the High Court in London completely rejected its accusations on the grounds that the litigation method was "unreasonable" and even ruled that the plaintiff may have to bear higher punitive litigation costs.

The plaintiff's lawyer counterattacked in a statement, pointing out that the court's unprecedented ruling "has major legal and factual flaws" and therefore decided to file an appeal to seek a reversal. Spokespersons for Harry and United Newspapers have yet to comment.

Harry has long blamed the media pursuit of the 1997 Paris car crash that killed his mother, Princess Diana, and even complained that the newspaper made Meghan's life completely miserable. Although Harry has recently frequently expressed his willingness to repair relations and reconcile, the legal proceedings between him and the British media will continue as the appeal process begins.
