Serves him right. He's made millions from Netflix, book deals and accusing them of being racist. Bit odd he's now coming back.

Will the King pay his debts.I hope not. Now the long suffering public will be fleeced for his security costs which will be around £5m a yea r. And they wonder why they are unpopular.

And you say your not upset

Knowing how tabloids work ≠ being upset

You probably also believe it when tabloids say they have a ‘source they cannot name’ 🤣

Hint: there is no source, it’s made up.

I thought that was code for the person the story is about told us but we’re not allowed to say so

The Daily Mail have consistently tried to destroy Meghan and Harry and continue to now ! I wish he’d won the case and welcome them home . Let the hate stop now, he dared to marry a mixed race woman and live in the USA and live an independent life , good for them .

He and the others didn’t win the case for the simple fact they had no evidence and the Judge touched upon this in his ruling. And you trying to play the race card is not going to work as most people with a brain don’t believe it.

Sure, when they’ve actually interviewed someone who wants to remain anonymous.

But media platforms often use ‘a source says’ as a general phrase to make unconfirmed talk sound more official than it is or it’s used by PR companies to push minor claims with anonymous attribution to test public reaction without attaching a name. Similarly journalists say ‘people close to the situation’ when that person could be the cleaner who isn’t close to the situation.

No, they thought they could use their Royal connection to make shedloads of money without having to turn up at random boring events with Little People trying to touch them etc. They miscalculated because their media/presentation skills are not any better than a random who works on a check out and runs a podcast in their spare time, that is the brutality of the new media world, everyone gets an opinion, and millions can see it, and connections means jack shit.

I’m fine but dear you are not using this time to reflect on your upset about the mail wining their case.

This case was motivated by greedy lawyers and greedy entitled celebs. If you look into how the complainants conducted this you will see that the judge was absolutely right about it - it has nothing to do with whether you like the Daily Mail or not and its political stance. And contrary to what you might think, it is quite possible for journalists to obtain gossipy stories without phone tapping and employing "private detectives". They are just ordinary employees going into an office every day with journalistic skills. And how embarrassing for Harry when he claimed he barely knew one of the journalists and severed ties when he learnt she was a journalist. She then revealed his flirty texts in court which showed he had known exactly what her job was and didn't care. He was badly advised. They were told the Mail would settle out of court and they would get a good pay day. Doreen Lawrence even said: "Why do I have to go to court?" They were also told time and again of the financial risks.

You’re siding with the Daily Mail against him, and others?

It's a pity that both sides can't lose isn't it?

Replace the word Harry with Dame Doreen Lawrence. Feel so gleeful now?

Her behaviour during this trial was far from exemplary, I have followed this quite closely.

Didn’t she have huge amounts of help from the Daily Mail on her campaign for justice for her son? Before she sued them.,,
