Prince Harry gets hit with a judge’s warning amid reports that his time in the US is potentially limited due to Meghan Markle and Donald Trump’s sordid history.
This is in reference to Prince Harry and Doreen Lawrence’s High Court case against The Mail, and the warning pertains to “serious allegations” of phone hacking that the Duke is making.
Branded ‘unfounded’ Mr Justice Nicklin demands the royal to come up with “admissible evidence” of such an allegation, or have it be withdrawn.
It is pertinent to mention that the financial ramifications of this case are projected to be £38million.
The trial date currently stands at January 14th, 2026 and atleast one of the allegations present “could be career-ending and give rise to potential criminal proceedings – so it couldn’t be more serious,” according to the judge.
Hence while speaking to the claimants’ barrister, David Sherborne it was said that, ‘as part of general case management’ that ‘when serious allegations are made, first it has to be necessary for them to be included, and secondly it has to properly and fairly reflect the underlying material.”
He also admitted, “You understand that the rules relating to allegations like that, which are serious allegations, must be pleaded clearly and the claimants must have admissible evidence for that allegation, or reasonable grounds to suppose that evidence will be available at trial.”
So “If no evidence is available at trial, it has to be withdrawn,” Mr Justice Nicklin added as well near the end before signing off.
