Prince Harry's pursuit of justice against Rupert Murdoch's newspapers faces delays as settlement talks proceed before a scheduled trial. Despite numerous settlements in similar cases, Harry and just one other claimant are pushing forward. This trial marks a pivotal moment as it’s the largest claimant against News Group Newspapers since the devastating phone hacking scandal that closed the News of the World in 2011. The Prince’s quest for accountability is personal, spurred by a history of trauma involving press harassment, particularly related to his mother's tragic death and ongoing turmoil faced by his family.
Harry, 40, the younger son of King Charles III, and one other claimant remain alone among hundreds who have settled lawsuits against News Group Newspapers, the publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World, over allegations their phones were hacked and investigators unlawfully snooped on their lives.
For the Duke of Sussex, it will be the second trial in London's High Court in his long-running feud with the press that he blames for the death of his mother, Princess Diana, who was killed in a car crash in 1997 while being chased by paparazzi in Paris.
