His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales v Associated Newspapers Ltd [2006] EWHC 11 (Ch) is an English legal case brought about when the Mail on Sunday published extracts of the Diary of Prince Charles, second in line to the British throne.

The extracts published were personally embarrassing to the Prince. One extract described Chinese officials as "appalling old waxworks". He also referred to the Transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong as "The Great Chinese Takeaway" and the Hong Kong handover ceremony as an "awful Soviet-style" performance and "ridiculous rigmarole".

Judgment

Prince Charles won the case and gained an injunction which prevented the Mail on Sunday from publishing further extracts from the diary.
