Prince Harry lost his battle with U.K. newspaper Mail on Sunday. The dispute began last year when the Duke of Sussex posted a photo that the paper claimed intentionally misled his 11.1 million followers.
The story, published by the Mail in April last year, claimed that a series of photos taken by the Duke of Sussex and posted on social media site Instagram were not giving the full picture.
Headlined “Drugged and tethered… what Harry didn’t tell you about those awe-inspiring wildlife photos,”
The story added that the pictures posted online to mark Earth Day were misleading, because they didn’t make clear that the animals had been tranquillised.
Harry complained to the Independent Press Standard.
Harry had argued that the full unedited photos were published on the royal family website in 2016 and have been available for anyone to see.
Harry also argued the caption made clear that the animals were being relocated as part of conservation efforts.
Adding that it was not necessary to explicitly state that the animals had been sedated or tethered as this would be understood by readers.
