An attorney for the publisher of The Sun tabloid used Prince Harry's own words Thursday to argue that his phone hacking lawsuit should be thrown out.

chief spokesperson indicated he was well enough aware of allegations against the publisher that he could have brought a lawsuit in a timely manner.

After a three day hearing in the High Court, Hudson asked a judge to throw out the hacking suits brought by Harry and actor Hugh Grant, arguing they had ample knowledge to file claims within a six-year time limit. Sherborne also argued that Harry was prevented from bringing a case because of a "secret agreement" the royal family had with Murdoch's company. The alleged agreement was intended to shield the royals from having to testify in court and be confronted with embarrassing evidence, Harry said.
