伦敦——据哥伦比亚广播公司周二获得的法庭文件显示，英国哈里王子长期以来针对《每日邮报》和《星期日邮报》小报出版商的法律诉讼已败诉。法庭驳回了全部诉讼请求，外界普遍认为这将是王子针对英国媒体的最后一场法庭诉讼。
萨塞克斯公爵哈里是本案的多名原告之一，其他原告还包括流行歌手埃尔顿·约翰和演员伊丽莎白·赫莉。他们指控这些畅销小报的出版商联合报业公司（ANL）通过窃听电话、截取语音邮件、冒充他人获取个人信息等非法手段收集他们的信息。

在周二的裁决中，英国高等法院驳回了相关诉讼，称这些指控无法被证实。
哈里和其他原告的律师表示，被指控的行为发生在1993年至2011年之间，但这种行为一直持续到2018年。
联合报业公司此前否认其记者存在不当行为，称这些指控“荒谬可笑”，并表示诉讼中提及的约50篇文章均通过原告身边的人合法获取信息。联合报业公司还曾以所谓的侵权行为已过去太久为由，请求法庭驳回此案。
今年1月诉讼启动之初，哈里曾表示，媒体的窃听监听行为让他“极度偏执”。
去年，《太阳报》的出版商与哈里达成庭外和解，向他支付了“巨额赔偿金”，并就其使用的手段正式致歉。
2023年，哈里在针对镜报报业集团的诉讼中，33项手机窃听指控里赢得了15项，法官判处哈里约18万美元赔偿金。次年，该报业集团又支付了37万美元，以了结哈里对该集团的其余诉讼请求。
此次裁决作出之际，哈里难得地访问英国。此前外界纷纷猜测他是否会携妻子梅根以及两个孩子阿奇和莉莉贝特一同前往，但最终孩子们并未随行。王子曾就他在英国本土的住宿安排，以及若家人陪同他返回英国时可获得的安保级别，与白金汉宫进行公开磋商。
哈里长期以来将母亲戴安娜王妃的死归咎于新闻媒体。1997年，戴安娜王妃在巴黎隧道的一场车祸中丧生，当时她正被摄影记者追踪。
他还曾表示，媒体对梅根的攻击是他们在2020年放弃高级王室成员公职并移居美国的主要原因之一。
Prince Harry loses legal battle against Daily Mail publisher as top U.K. court dismisses all claims

London— Britain’s Prince Harry has lost his long-running legal battle against the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday tabloid newspapers, according to court documents seen by CBS News on Tuesday. All claims were thrown out by the court in what is widely expected to be the last of the prince’s courtroom battles against British media outlets.
Harry, the Duke of Sussex, was among several claimants in the case — along with pop star Elton John and actor Elizabeth Hurley — who accused the publisher of the popular tabloids, Associated Newspapers (ANL), of unlawfully gathering information about them through methods such as phone tapping, intercepting voicemails and impersonating people to obtain personal information.

In its ruling on Tuesday, the U.K. High Court dismissed the claims, saying they could not be proven.
Lawyers for Harry and the other claimants said the alleged acts took place between 1993 and 2011, but that the behavior continued into 2018.
ANL had previously denied wrongdoing by its journalists, calling the allegations “preposterous” and saying the 50 or so articles cited in the lawsuit were all based on information gathered lawfully through people close to the claimants. ANL had argued for the case to be thrown out because of the amount of time that had passed since the alleged transgressions.
At the beginning of the lawsuit in January, Harry said press snooping had made him “paranoid beyond belief.”
Last year, the publisher of The Sun newspaper paid the duke “substantial damages” in an out-of-court settlement and profusely apologized for the methods it had used.
In 2023, Harry won 15 of 33 claims of phone hacking in a lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers. The judge awarded Harry around $180,000 in damages, and the following year the publisher paid him a further $370,000 to settle his other claims against the group.
Tuesday’s ruling came during a rare visit by Harry to the U.K., after intense speculation about whether he would bring his wife Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, who did not end up traveling with him. The prince engaged in a public back-and-forth with Buckingham Palace over where he stays in his home country and the level of security that would be afforded to him and his family, if they were to join him on British soil.
Harry has long blamed the news media for the death of his mother Princess Diana, who died in a car crash in a Paris tunnel in 1997 while being chased by press photographers.
He has also cited media attacks on Meghan as one of the main reasons behind their decision to abandon their roles as senior, working members of the royal family and move to the U.S. in 2020.
