High Court rules Richard Taylor's portrayal in "The Lost King" film is defamatory, allowing his libel case against Coogan, Baby Cow, and Pathe Productions to proceed.
High Court Judge rules Richard Taylor's portrayal in Steve Coogan's film "The Lost King" is defamatory. Taylor is suing Coogan, Baby Cow, and Pathe Productions for libel over his portrayal in the film. The film, which documents the discovery of Richard III's skeleton in 2012, allegedly depicted Taylor as "dismissive, patronizing, and misogynistic" towards Philippa Langley, who is central to the story. The ruling allows the case to proceed to trial, with a date yet to be set.
