STEPHEN GLOVER: This was nothing less than a conspiracy to destroy the Daily Mail. Thankfully a judge had the good sense to reject it - but the enemies of a free Press won't go away

Readers of the Mail titles, and the journalists working for them, have cause for great celebration following Mr Justice Nicklin's judgment yesterday in the High Court. Every claim against the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday - including extremely damaging ones made in the full glare of publicity by Prince Harry - was dismissed. There were no caveats. No exceptions. This was a triumph for both newspapers, and their journalists. For the case against Associated Newspapers, publisher of the two titles, amounted to nothing less than a conspiracy to blacken the papers on the altar of public opinion - and if possible to close them down.

The wild hacking and bugging claims that were dismissed one by one in a calm, forensic judgment

With their wild stories of hacking, burglary and bugging, the claims brought by Prince Harry, Baroness Lawrence and the others were as dramatic as they were damaging. But after a forensic examination of the evidence, Mr Justice Nicklin decided they were entirely without merit as he praised the reliability and credibility of the Daily Mail's professional journalists.

Baroness Lawrence and Prince Harry accuse judge of bias and whitewash in stinging statement

Prince Harry appeared to criticise the judge who ruled against him in his failed case against the Daily Mail. The Duke of Sussex referenced Mr Justice Nicklin's previous work for newspapers.

SARAH VINE: I can't help wondering if Harry was influenced by more cunning players in this saga - just as his mother was so tragically swayed by Martin Bashir

'An overwhelming vindication of our journalism': Prince Harry's phone hacking case against the Daily Mail is dismissed in full

'I have the best relationship with the Daily Mail - it has been everything to me. Why would anyone turn on the people who have helped their case the most?' In a profoundly moving interview, Stephen Lawrence's father breaks his silence and speaks his mind

Associated Newspapers editor-in-chief Paul Dacre hails Daily Mail victory over Prince Harry in phone hacking case
