Prince Harry Accuses Murdoch of Tabloid Phone Hacking Cover-Up in Court Battle
  • Prince Harry's lawyer accused Rupert Murdoch and other executives of covering up illegal snooping by British tabloids during a high court hearing in London.

  • The defense argued against the proposed changes to Prince Harry's lawsuit, labeling them a campaign against the tabloid press rather than necessary amendments.

  • Prince Harry has multiple lawsuits against British tabloids, alleging illegal activities by journalists and private investigators, marking a conflict with the royal family.

  • A significant legal win for Prince Harry included a judge's ruling on 'widespread and habitual' phone hacking at Mirror Group Newspapers.

  • Prince Harry's ongoing legal battle includes a case against the Daily Mail's owner and two other lawsuits, all three of which allege illegal actions by the press.

  • Despite defense efforts to dismiss the lawsuit, it has been permitted to proceed to trial.

  • News Group Newspapers, involved in the scandal, has settled over 1,300 claims related to its publications, though The Sun has not admitted any liability.
