LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry has won the first stage of a libel suit against the publisher of Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper. A judge ruled Friday that parts of a story about his fight for police protection in the U.K. were defamatory. High Court Justice Matthew Nicklin hasn’t yet considered issues such as whether the story was accurate or in the public interest. That is a defense that the newspaper will be able to offer in the next phase of the proceedings.
