Backgrid USA Prince Harry just got a major legal setback. The Duke of Sussex was already in London for an Invictus Games event on Tuesday (July 7), when a judge handed down a major decision in his ongoing legal battle against the British press. He was photographed arriving at and leaving Chatham House, where he attended the 14th Invictus Games Foundation Conversation: From Policy to Practice . The event was part of the One Year to Go celebrations for the Invictus Games Birmingham 2027 . Harry wore a navy suit, white dress shirt, and burgundy-and-navy striped tie for the appearance.

This judgment represents a complete reversal of the position which previous Judges have taken in relation to the hacking claims successfully brought against both News Group Newspapers and Mirror Group Newspapers (who were represented by, at the time, the Judge who made this decision). Generic findings about various private investigators that were held by the Courts in these parallel claims to have carried out unlawful activity at the very same time in relation to similar stories and well-known individuals have been wholly ignored. The fact that this Court has chosen to dismiss them represents an inconsistency which is hard to understand or reconcile with common sense, or the evidence heard in the courtroom itself. It is a complete and obvious whitewash, but sadly not altogether unexpected. However, the lengths to which the Court has gone to exonerate the Mail
