UK phone hacking case: Prince Harry takes on media mogul Rupert Murdoch

Prince Harry is preparing for a major legal showdown with Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers (NGN), marking a rare instance where a high-profile figure challenges the media giant in court, UK media reported on Monday.

The trial, scheduled to begin this Tuesday at London’s High Court, will see the Duke of Sussex alongside former Labour deputy leader Lord Tom Watson, as the last two claimants pursuing allegations of phone hacking and unlawful information gathering against NGN.
