Prince Harry's legal action sparks response from Andrew Lownie; further disclosures anticipated
Prince Harry's legal team has issued a legal notice to a publication over derogatory comments about his wife Meghan Markle, as reported in a recent story. The duke's team has called in lawyers due to the 'gross inaccuracies, damaging and defamatory remarks' in the outlet's report.
The legal action is related to a report published about Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew. The source of the allegations is a biography of Prince Andrew, titled Andrew, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, written by Andrew Lownie.
The book alleges that Prince Andrew made disparaging comments about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, which led to a physical altercation where Prince Harry punched Andrew at a family gathering in 2013. However, Prince Harry has denied that he and Andrew ever had a physical fight or that Andrew made such comments about Meghan to him.
Prince Harry's representative has also confirmed that Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight. The claims about the alleged fight between the two were previously denied by Harry's team.
In response to the report, a legal letter from Prince Harry's counsel has been sent, according to the duke's team. The legal notice was issued in response to a report that contained allegations of a fight between Prince Harry and his uncle Prince Andrew.
The Sussexes' legal team has formally accused the book, including these claims, of containing "gross inaccuracies" and "damaging and defamatory remarks," highlighting their rejection of these allegations.
Andrew Lownie, the author of the biography, has expressed eagerness for a confrontation and disclosures to emerge, sharing the Newsweek story on his X (formerly Twitter) handle.
The duke's team has also spoken to Newsweek about the legal action. Prince Andrew's representative, however, stated that the alleged derogatory comments about Meghan Markle did not occur.
This legal action is aimed at addressing the 'damaging and defamatory remarks' made in the outlet's story. The Sussexes' legal team is taking a firm stance to protect their reputation and that of Meghan Markle.
