Prince Harry's Trial Against Murdoch's NGN Over 1996-2011 Unlawful Information Gathering Begins in London's High Court
Jan 21, 2025, 10:34 AM
Prince Harry's legal battle against Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers (NGN) commenced in London's High Court, focusing on allegations of unlawful information gathering by the publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World. The trial, which is expected to last eight to ten weeks, marks a significant chapter in the Duke of Sussex's ongoing feud with the British press. Prince Harry, alongside former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson, accuses NGN of using illegal tactics such as phone hacking and employing private investigators to unlawfully gather information from 1996 to 2011. NGN has denied any wrongdoing at The Sun and argued that the claims are brought out of time. The trial faced delays as both parties engaged in settlement discussions, with NGN offering a substantial settlement to resolve the case. However, Prince Harry has emphasized his pursuit of accountability and truth, indicating his determination to see the trial through despite the financial risks involved.
