Prince Harry's Lawsuit Against News Group Newspapers Advances to Trial
Prince Harry Continues Legal Battle Over Alleged Unlawful Information Gathering
Prince Harry is proceeding with his lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers (NGN) for allegedly obtaining his private information unlawfully.
Despite many plaintiffs reaching settlements, Harry is pursuing his case, which claims NGN engaged in unlawful activities between 1996 and 2011.
This lawsuit targets the publisher of the Sun and the now-defunct News of the World, and is being heard at the High Court in London.
Harry's lawyer, David Sherborne, stated that while most of the approximately 40 lawsuits have settled, Tom Watson, former deputy leader of Britain's Labour Party, remains alongside Harry in pursuing legal action.
Among the individuals who have settled are Spice Girl Melanie Brown, former BBC executive Alan Yentob, 'Game of Thrones' actor Alfie Allen, and Ted Beckham, father of former England soccer captain David Beckham.
