Britain’s Prince Harry arrives to attend the Invictus Games Foundation 10th Anniversary Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral, in London - REUTERSpix: A lawyer acting for Rupert Murdoch’s UK newspaper arm accused Prince Harry on Thursday of being forced “kicking and screaming” to disclose emails and carry out searches of material that might be relevant in his lawsuit against the media group.
NGN, which is contesting the claims, has paid out hundreds of millions of pounds to victims of phone-hacking by News of the World and settled more than 1,300 lawsuits, but has always rejected allegations of any wrongdoing by staff at The Sun. Anthony Hudson, NGN’s lawyer, told the court that they had no choice but to seek the order, accusing Harry of “obfuscation” and adding the claimant was creating an “obstacle course” on the issue.
