LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry has dropped his libel lawsuit against the publisher of a British tabloid following a ruling that had damaged his case.

There was no reason given but it came the day Harry was due to hand over documents in the case. Last month, a judge ordered Harry to pay the publisher more than $60,000 in legal fees after he failed to achieve victory without going to trial.
