Prince Harry comes under fire after 'abusing' his position

Prince Harry has seemingly invited a new trouble with his recent comments after losing his legal battle in the UK.

The Duke of Sussex and Baroness Doreen Lawrence have been accused of "abusing their positions as well-known figures" for publicly declaring the ruling a 'whitewash' in their case against Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL).

Harry, Baroness Lawrence are two of seven high-profile claimants facing a legal bill of almost £34.5 million as they failed to convince Justice Nicklin of their claims that they had been victims of unlawful information gathering by journalists for the publishers.

The two appeared to be angry at the verdict and allegedly criticised the ruling. However, none of the seven claimants are currently appealing the judgement and have accepted they have lost their case.

Experts have urged the Duke to heed legal advice and navigate the current situation with care, warning that a misstep in public could further jeopardize his standing.

Some believe the Justice gave sound consideration to each count as the judgment was 436 pages.

It comes after both sides put their case forward about how much money the claimants are liable for.

During the hairing at he Royal Courts of Justice in London on Wednesday, ANL argues the company has incurred costs of almost £34.5million, and has asked the judge to rule the claimants are liable for all of the costs.

This is because, in ANL's view, the claimants made extremely serious allegations against dozens of journalists (that could not be proved) and repeatedly changed or abandoned parts of their case.

Meanwhile, it has been revealed the claimants took out after the insurance worth £16.2million, so they did not have to personally face paying out millions of pounds if they lost the case.

ANL spent £18million over the court's approved litigation budget, which the claimants allege they were not informed about.

This meant sufficient insurance was not sought to cover the full cost of a loss, according to the claimants' lawyers.
