LONDON - Britain’s Prince Harry is to sue the publishers of Rupert Murdoch’s Sun newspaper and the Daily Mirror over allegations of phone-hacking as he and his wife Meghan step up their battle with the tabloid press.
Harry was one target in a phone-hacking scandal that rocked Murdoch’s newspaper empire and prompted the closure of his News of the World tabloid in 2011. Court documents first reported by website Byline Investigates also show that Harry is targeting Mirror Group Newspapers, owned by Reach PLC , with the legal action. A spokesman for Reach declined to comment.
In an emotional statement, Harry said the treatment of Meghan by sections of the British press was reminiscent of their approach to his mother Diana, who died in a car crash in 1997 after being followed through the streets of Paris by photographers. The phones of Prince Harry, who is Queen Elizabeth’s grandson and sixth in line to the throne, and his brother William’s wife Kate were hacked by staff working for the now-defunct News of the World, a London court heard in 2013.The court heard extracts of a message left on Harry’s phone in which an unknown male pretended to be the prince’s then-girlfriend Chelsy Davy. The paper later ran a story saying the joke message was left by William for his brother.
