Prince Harry's Lawsuit Against Sun Publisher Advances with New Email Evidence
A judge has allowed Prince Harry access to specific emails between News Group Newspapers and the Royal Household as his case proceeds to trial.
- Prince Harry and former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson are the only remaining claimants in the lawsuit against News Group Newspapers (NGN) for alleged unlawful information gathering.
- The High Court has granted Prince Harry access to a limited set of emails between NGN executives and Royal Household staff, deemed potentially relevant to his case.
- NGN has denied any unlawful activities at The Sun, and has settled 39 similar cases since July, including those involving celebrities like Hugh Grant and Sienna Miller.
- The trial, set for January 2025, is expected to last six to eight weeks, with a further hearing scheduled for December.
- The judge expressed disappointment over the slow progress of the case, likening it to a battle between two well-resourced parties.
