Prince Harry’s legal battle against Mirror Group newspapers reached its conclusion yesterday, with his lawyers demanding a compensation of over half a million pounds, equivalent to approximately $900,000.

The Duke of Sussex, along with three others, has filed a lawsuit against the newspaper’s publisher, alleging phone hacking and other illegal activities.

Following a seven-week trial, the High Court released a summary of the claimants’ sought damages.

Prince Harry claims that he should be awarded £330,000 for 33 newspaper articles that were obtained through unlawful means.

Additionally, he is requesting £15,000 per year for each of the 16 years during which his phones and voicemails were allegedly intercepted, bringing the total amount to around £570,000.

In a separate document released on Friday, his lawyers argued that the Duke should receive more than £120,000 for being subjected to extensive unlawful information gathering by private investigators.

However, Andrew Green, the publisher’s barrister, dismissed Prince Harry’s claim of systematic phone hacking, stating that it was baseless.

He pointed out that the 16-year period mentioned by the Duke began in 1996, a time when he did not even own a mobile phone.

Green argued that a careful analysis of the case would undermine Prince Harry’s claims.

Mirror Group newspapers denies hacking Prince Harry and asserts that he should receive no more than the $1 compensation that Meghan Markle received for one incident, despite her admission of lying to the court.

Meghan was allowed to claim that her forgetfulness led to the misinformation.

On the final day of the trial, Prince Harry’s lawyer faced a setback as the High Court judge blocked a last-minute attempt to submit additional evidence.

The lawyer attempted to present a letter as evidence, but it was deemed inadmissible since it was submitted ten days after the evidence phase had concluded.

The judge rejected the request, stating that it would be unfair and against the principles of the court.

Critics have questioned Prince Harry’s legal team, particularly his lawyer, Sherborne, who they believe has pursued a frivolous case without substantial evidence.

Some have even accused him of seeking special privileges and fairness.

Others have raised concerns about Sherborne’s conduct, alleging that his team has bought witnesses and paid large sums for potentially misleading material.

Calls have been made for professional conduct bodies to investigate these claims.

The high-profile trial featured testimony from numerous witnesses, including former journalists, editors, private investigators, and MGM executives.

Prince Harry himself spent eight hours in the witness box over two days, attracting global media attention.

This marked a rare instance of a senior member of the royal family personally appearing in court proceedings, with the last occurrence being in 2002 when Princess Anne pleaded guilty to a charge under the Dangerous Dogs Act following an incident in Windsor Great Park.
