Prince Harry could receive up to 220,000 HUF in damages in the wiretapping scandal
Prince Harry can’t expect much money in compensation in the case against the publisher of The Mirror, the money won’t even be enough for taxi costs – at least that’s how it looks in the High Court
the Mirror According to him, the prince was not a victim of wiretapping. However, in one case, they admitted that they illegally obtained Harry’s personal information.
Therefore, Prince Harry may be entitled to a maximum of 220,000 HUF compensation from the mirror’s publisher, the lawyer said in his defense letter.
According to the newspaper, the prince was not questioned and the real purpose of the lawsuit was to reform the prince to the British press. The publisher has admitted that Harry’s personal data was illegally obtained in one instance, in a nightclub, and has apologized and recommended that the prince be awarded up to £500 in compensation for this isolated incident. The lawyer suggested dismissing the remainder of Harry’s case.
He also said that the prince’s unique role in public life does not relieve him of the burden of proof, and that the burden rests directly with him.
The trial has been going on for seven weeks and both sides have received millions of pounds in legal costs. Not counting Harry’s trips back and forth between England and California.
The lawyer said some of the articles in question were published 30 years ago. He described the prince’s case as greatly exaggerated and unfounded. Harry repeatedly agreed in his five-hour testimony that private information had previously been publicized widely elsewhere by other media or released by palace spokespeople.
There is a complete lack of evidence that A Mirror He could have eavesdropped on Harry, the lawyer claims According to the Daily Mail. The trial ends on Friday and the judge will issue his ruling at a later date.
It is quite a burden, after all, as a member of the royal family rarely appears in court, and it must be avoided for someone to claim that the prince won a lawsuit because of his rank, since he had nothing to prove his claims.
However, if he loses, another stain will be placed on his honor, this time by the court saying that he is making baseless accusations and that he is not telling the truth in Hungarian.
