OUR Prince HarryVocalist Elton John and other prominent Britons have decided to sue the publisher of the Daily Mail for wiretapping and other privacy violations, their law firm said today.

Celebrities suing the Daily Mail also include actresses Elizabeth Hurley and Sadie Frost, film producer David Furnish (Elton John’s partner) and Doreen Lawrence, mother of teenager Stephen Lawrence who died in a racist attack in 1993.

The Associated Newspapers group, which owns the Daily Mail, denied the accusations, calling them “baseless” and “grossly defamatory”.

According to law firm Hamlins, the plaintiffs have evidence against the Associated Newspers Group for a breach of confidentiality. He mentions placing bedbugs in cars and houses, as well as wiretapping.

Hamlins law firm represents Prince Harry and actress Sadie Frost. Elton John, David Furnish, Elizabeth Harley and Doreen Lawrence are represented by Gunnercook.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan fell out with British tabloids after the couple got married in 2018. They made it clear that they wanted nothing to do with the four major newspapers, including the Daily Mail, accusing them of lying.

The suffocating pressure they felt from the media was one of the reasons the Harry-Meghan couple explained why they made the decision to step down from royal duties and move to the United States.
