Case was funded by 'orgy-loving racist' Max Mosley and actor Hugh Grant, says Dacre.
Former Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre has given his reaction to an “overwhelming” High Court privacy trial victory versus Prince Harry saying the case was a “conspiracy” to destroy the paper.
“Prince Harry wrote a sad book which boasted about his killing of 25 Taliban, his drug-taking and, in cringe-making detail, how he lost his virginity. There isn’t a laundry in the cosmos big enough to wash all the dirty linen he has aired about his own family. For him to complain about HIS privacy being invaded takes, not just the biscuit, but the whole tin.
“Poor Harry. I feel sorry for the way a confused and angry young man has been drawn into this case. The bitter irony is that his mother, Diana, liked the Mail. We were her paper. We took her side in her acrimonious break up with Charles. She and I would speak and meet The Mail’s superb royal reporter was her friend and confidante.
“The truth is that this trumped-up action – which has cost well over £50m and wasted a huge amount of valuable Court time – should never have been brought to trial. That it did, raises profoundly disturbing questions about the conduct of elements of the legal profession.
“Today’s verdict is not just a victory for Associated’s magnificent journalists – several of whom have had a terrible toll imposed on their health and lives – but a free press generally. Make no mistake. This was a conspiracy, supported by Hacked Off, to destroy a paper.
“Financed by the orgy-loving, racist Max Mosley and involving the actor Hugh Grant, it was also a sinister bid to resuscitate Leveson Two and impose statutory regulation on the press"

I hope The Mail get full costs awarded with interest. This was one of the most expensive cases in modern times.
Time for the celebs to cough up. They tried to play the victim and destroy a newspaper.
Harry is a tool
Since Harry aired his stuff, the only “thing”
left to question is... Yup...”Is it curved?” ..”Does it have a birthmark?”...Ahem harrumph...’Tailored or not?”
Prince Harry makes surprise appearance at Parliament ahead of his departure from the UK
That Harry set foot in Parliament...
I’ve wondered why that didn’t create a hellacious stink, if not for Harry, certainly for his father.
Funny how that works, Daily Fail, your selective outrage.
Because the royalty is toothless and everyone knows it?
Meanwhile, from 2025, on the the guy the Duke of Hamas appeared with his first night back in the UK...
Renowned photographer Misan Harriman on Black Lives Matter, Gaza and finding hope in protest
On the appearance...
Alleged...
Good one.
HIS WIFE IS THE HANDLER
Yup ... and since she’s just one step up from the curb, SHE has handlers, too!
Yeah. Daily Mail has been critical of him and his half breed American slag of a wife. He had to do something so she wouldn’t yell at him.
So what did the judge actually rule? The snippet I saw said that the Court found all the stories complained of were "lawfully sourced." That seems a long way from the Court finding that "the Daily Mail did not unlawfully access the voice mail of the Plaintiffs."
And just what does "lawfully sourced" mean when suing an UK Newspaper? If the paper hacks voicemail, gets a scoop unknown to the public, then goes and investigates the matter, conducts interviews it would not have known to conduct without the voicemail hacking, then publishes a story based on the interviews, was the story "lawfully sourced?"
As for what ghe UK enemedia, including the Daily Fail, has been sitting in/spiking for years, please allow me to offer this example from 2019...
