Prince Harry, the younger son of King Charles III, is embroiled in a high-stakes trial against Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers, The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World. This legal battle, set to begin on Tuesday, could potentially cost Harry millions even if he emerges victorious.
The case revolves around allegations that News Group Newspapers, the publisher of the aforementioned tabloids, engaged in phone hacking and unlawful surveillance of individuals, including Harry and another claimant, Tom Watson, a former deputy leader of the Labour Party. The lawsuit spans the period between 1996 and 2011, during which the claimants assert that journalists and private investigators employed deceptive tactics to invade their privacy.
