Prince Harry to Face Lengthy Cross-Examination in Lawsuit Against News Group Newspapers

The Duke of Sussex will testify in January trial over alleged unlawful information gathering by The Sun and News of the World.

Prince Harry's legal case against News Group Newspapers (NGN) is set to go to trial in January 2025, with a potential four days of cross-examination for the Duke of Sussex.
The lawsuit alleges unlawful information gathering by NGN's publications, including The Sun and the defunct News of the World, between 1996 and 2011.
NGN's lawyer, Anthony Hudson, argues that Harry's claim may be invalid due to timing, necessitating detailed questioning about his awareness of the alleged misconduct.
Harry's lawyer, David Sherborne, contests the proposed four-day cross-examination, calling it excessive and suggesting one and a half days instead.
This marks Harry's second time testifying in court; he previously won damages in a separate case against Mirror Group Newspapers for phone hacking.
