I found myself embroiled in a court case this week, as Prince Harry took on the publisher of The Sun newspaper – a publication under the umbrella of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. However, unlike me, he wasn’t present in the High Court of London. There were some delays along the way, but the battle commenced nonetheless.
The upcoming court case involving News Group Newspapers (NGN) and former U.K. politician Tom Watson, who used to be the deputy leader of the Labour Party, as well as Prince Harry, is anticipated to stretch over a period of approximately six to eight weeks.
As a gamer, I’d rephrase that as: “Back in the days from 1996 to 2011, I’m talking about The Sun and News of the World here, some shady stuff allegedly went down by their journalists and private eyes. They were accused of phone hacking and illegally gathering info. Now, we’re delving into whether the bigwigs in charge knew about these shenanigans.
In simpler terms, at a press gathering in New York during December, Prince Harry emphasized the importance of being held responsible for one’s actions, which he put quite straightforwardly.
Previously, NGN refuted allegations of illegal actions at The Sun and resolved disputes involving numerous well-known individuals such as Hugh Grant and Sienna Miller, among others. These settlements amounted to over $1.5 billion collectively.
Sean Coughlan, BBC’s royal correspondent, stated on Tuesday that Prince Harry’s fight against the tabloid press is deeply personal for him. It’s not just a legal issue, but also a mission. This battle against what he perceives as invasions and abuses by the media is closely tied to his own experiences – particularly the loss of his mother Diana and his decision to leave the U.K. Previously, others have settled their disputes with NGN, but Harry has persisted in this case. Now, he’s prepared to bring his claims before a court.
Without a doubt, the trial is a pivotal moment in the ongoing battle between Prince Harry and the UK media. A portion of an article published by The Mail on Sunday regarding Prince Harry’s lawsuit against the Home Office was deemed defamatory, as decided by a judge in London’s High Court in 2022.
