Why prince harry lost phone hacking case against daily mail publisher?

Prince Harry had to say he lost because the publisher of the Daily Mail didn’t do anything wrong, it was like if someone borrowed your toy and you said they broke it, but they actually just took it and gave it back later.

It all started with a phone hack, that means someone secretly listened to Prince Harry’s phone calls. He thought the Daily Mail did this, so he went to court to say they were in the wrong.

But here's the twist: The publisher said, "We didn’t do it!" And they had proof, like a secret message saying the real person who hacked the phone was someone else.

It’s like if your friend took your lunch without asking, but when you asked them about it later, they said, “I didn’t do it, my brother did!” and showed you a note from him. That would make it harder to blame your friend.

So Prince Harry had to say he lost because the publisher of the Daily Mail wasn’t guilty, someone else was the real one who hacked his phone!
