Rupert Murdoch is reportedly in a secret legal battle with his four eldest children over the future of his media empire, in a turn of events that has sparked comparisons with the battles of the Roy family in the hit HBO drama Succession.
According to sealed court documents seen by the New York Times, Murdoch, 93, is arguing that his eldest son, Lachlan, should have sole control of the family’s investments in a move that would in effect freeze out his other children – James, Elisabeth and Prudence.
