Prince Harry has launched a High Court libel action against the publisher of the Daily Mail, court filings show.

The Duke of Sussex filed a claim against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) on Wednesday afternoon.

It is not known which titles the claim relates to – the organisation also includes The Mail On Sunday and MailOnline – or which article.

A spokesperson for the duke said: “I can confirm the duke has filed a complaint against Associated Newspapers Limited.”

His wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, previously brought a successful privacy claim against ANL over articles that reproduced parts of a handwritten letter to her estranged father, Thomas Markle.
