Prince Harry sues British tabloid over claim he lost touch with Royal Marines
- Senior military commander criticised Harry for an alleged lack of contact in Mail on Sunday article
- Harry served in the armed forces for a decade before taking on the role of a full-time senior royal
Prince Harry has launched libel action against the publishers of a British tabloid over an article claiming he had not kept in touch with the Royal Marines, reports said.
The Duke of Sussex, who served in Afghanistan in 2012, and his wife Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, are already pursuing multiple legal claims.
Harry’s legal team filed the latest action against Associated Newspapers Ltd at the High Court late November, The Daily Telegraph and Britain’s domestic Press Association news agency reported, without citing sources.
A spokesman for Harry, grandson of Queen Elizabeth, declined to comment.
The reports said it related to an October report in The Mail on Sunday in which a senior military commander criticised Harry for an alleged lack of contact.
The Telegraph reported that the couple, who now live in the United States with their young son, Archie, have filed six legal claims in just over a year.
