The man on a mission, Prince Harry, has a long way to go. Ever since he waged a war against the British tabloids, he has been swamped in long-stretched litigations to solve. With three parallel legal cases going on, there has been confusion about who exactly is the Prince fighting. While publications such as Daily Mirror and Daily Mail are primarily taking the hits, there is much more to the lawsuits. Along with Rupert Murdoch, there are various other parent companies of publications that are currently under fire.

Starting with the age-old allegations and false speculations that ultimately gave birth to trenchant criticism of the royal family, Prince Harry is going to face them all. His previous trials had already exposed a great deal about The Firms and its secret arrangements with the tabloids. Nonetheless, being aware of it all, the Duke will be fighting to regain the reputation of his family, long dumped in the quagmire of controversies.

The Duke has accused some of them of an illegal means of gathering information, having barged into his privacy. Meanwhile, others have charges of the illegal phone hacking scandal prevailing in the royal sphere since the era of his late mother, the Princess of Wales. As laid out by The Guardian, the Duke is taking up the phone hacking scandal by Mirror Publications and People. He is also susceptible to cross-examination based on his claims as he takes the helm in the witness box.

The Prince will also be taking up the claims such as those which revolved around his private relationships with former girlfriends. Various headlines that laid bare his personal relationships are also to be revisited in the court with the world’s eyes fixed on the Duke.

The Duke will face one of his greatest critics

When we speak of a Sussex critic, the first name that comes to everyone’s mind is none other than the eminent media personality, Piers Morgan. The tabloid mogul has never made his detest for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle any secret. Having publicly bashed the couple for years, Morgan is currently the first for indulging in illegal activities against the Prince, during his time in the Mirror Group.

Prince Harry’s legal team has formerly alleged that Morgan had a “clear involvement and knowledge” in illegal activity. However, the media giant has abruptly turned down the allegations, in his satirical style of mocking the couple.
