Prince Harry Continues Lawsuit Against News Group Newspapers

Prince Harry is continuing his legal battle against News Group Newspapers (NGN), the publisher of The Sun, over allegations of unlawful information gathering, alongside former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson. The High Court has scheduled both cases for trial in January 2025, following the settlement of 39 similar claims since July. Harry's allegations include illegal activities such as phone tapping and the use of private investigators by NGN, which previously published the now-defunct News of the World. His legal team has requested access to relevant emails between NGN employees and royal household staff, arguing they are crucial for understanding the extent of the misconduct. NGN's legal representatives contest this request, asserting that the emails are irrelevant to the claims. A further hearing is set for December to address procedural concerns ahead of the trial.
