On Friday, Nov. 16, the Duke of Sussex’s attorney, David Sherborne, confirmed that the royal’s legal case against New Group Newspapers (NGN), the publisher of the U.K.
tabloid The Sun, will continue and is expected to go to trial in January 2025, people reports. NGN is owned by Rupert Murdoch, the controversial media mogul who also founded Fox News.
Prince Harry has accused the publisher of phone hacking and carrying out other “privacy violations” between 1996 and 2011 that amount to illegal information gathering.
The Duke of Sussex alleges both The Sun and the now-defunct publication News of the World were targeting him by using those alleged practices.
According to People, the High Court ruled that Prince Harry’s legal team could access “additional emails between senior NGN staff and royal household members,” which were argued to be “crucial” to the Duke of Sussex’s ongoing case.
