Prince Harry is pursuing a legal battle against Associated Newspapers, but the netizens mocked the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for keeping themselves too busy in court.

ITV News royal editor Chris Ship recently shared on Twitter Prince Harry's libel case against Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. The netizens immediately responded to the news, with many of them making fun of the couple. They felt that Prince Harry and Markle haven't done anything other than sue newspapers because the royal couple hasn't delivered a new podcast episode for Spotify or another project on Netflix.

"Suing is their new job," one commented.

"It's increasingly clear why they never get any work done. Too busy suing newspapers," another added.

"For two people who are anti-bullying they seem to spend a lot of time trying to bully anyone who disagrees w/them by filing lawsuits," a different user wrote.

"Here we go again. What happened to them wanting a quiet life. Always suing someone. No wonder [they] have no friends," another netizen added.

"Trying to win court cases seems to be the only revenue generator they have these days," a different user opined.

"For two people who don't read the 'noise' they spend a lot of time suing about it," another critic wrote.

Some netizens laughed at the issue and suggested that Prince Harry and Markle record themselves reading Daily Mail articles and comments because it would be fun. "I'd listen to that podcast!" the netizen added.

Meanwhile, others voiced support to Prince Harry's move because, for them, the Sussexes have been targeted by the outlet.

"Good. They are daily attacking Harry," one supporter commented.

"When the libel stops, the legal actions will stop!" another wrote.

"Enough is enough..Go.go.My Prince Harry," a different fan added, cheering the duke on.

"It's a LEGAL RIGHT afforded to EVERYONE!" another Sussex fan wrote, defending Prince Harry's move. "YOUR royals have utilized this legal avenue multiple times. Your queen, Charles, William & Kate have sought legal paths for various reasons.. YOU also have the right to sue, if YOU deem it necessary. Don't knock it, hun!! Go Haaarry!"

"There is so much one can take, enough is enough I believe Harry is not only fighting for himself and current family but his mother. Good luck to him and time to stand up to the big bullies," another commented.

According to The Guardian, aside from the libel case against Associated Newspapers, Prince Harry is also bringing privacy claims against News Group Newspapers, which publishes the Sun, and Mirror Group Newspapers, now Reach, over an alleged phone hacking and unlawful information gathering.
