Queen wins gag on Daily Mirror

The Queen today won a temporary High Court injunction preventing the Daily Mirror from publishing further revelations about journalist Ryan Parry’s employment as a footman in the royal household.

The injunction, which applies to all the media, was granted until 4.30pm on Monday to give Mirror lawyers a chance to prepare their case for a full hearing.

Mr Justice Lewison held that the Queen’s lawyers had a “real prospect” of succeeding in her claim over breach of the confidentiality terms of Mr Parry’s employment contract.
