Prince Harry accused of ‘obfuscation’ in lawsuit against Murdoch papers

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., and more than 40 others are suing News Group Newspapers over accusations of unlawful activities by journalists and private investigators, for the Sun and the now-defunct News of the World from the mid-1990s to the mid-2010s.

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. If Harry knew he had a potential claim against NGN before that date, then the case could be dismissed on the grounds it was filed too late.

Hudson said he was concerned that Harry’s team had stated that correspondence between Harry and J.R. Moehringer, the ghostwriter of his hugely successful memoir “Spare”, over messaging app Signal had all been wiped. Hudson added there was no excuse for not searching text or WhatsApp messages between them.
