Prince Harry's lawyers tell a High Court judge the Mail newspapers have no defence against his defamation claim, as they seek to avoid trial.

abc.net.au/news/prince-harry-defamation-case-in-court/102114950Prince Harry's lawyers told a London court on Friday that the publisher of a UK tabloid had no viable defence to his claims an article was defamatory.

Lawyers acting for the royal were in court on Friday seeking a summary judgement, hoping to win the case without going to trial. Prince Harry's lawyers said the prince had offered to pay for police protection at a crisis meeting with the late Queen Elizabeth, his father and brother Prince William at the royal Sandringham estate in January 2020.

However, Associated Newspapers' lawyers said it would rely on a strong argument of "honest opinion", and that Prince Harry's bid to win the case without a trial was "totally without merit".
