Harry and more than 40 others are suing News Group Newspapers over accusations of unlawful invasions of privacy by its tabloids from the mid-1990s until 2016
Lawyers for Britain’s Prince Harry and other claimants sought on Wednesday to amend their London lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch’s British mass-circulation papers to include the magnate personally in allegations of a cover-up of wrongdoing.
NGN’s lawyers said the attempt to change the particulars of the case was unnecessary, disproportionate and irrelevant, introducing 200 new journalists, executives and private investigators, along with extremely serious allegations. In 2012, NGN apologised for widespread phone-hacking by journalists at the News of the World , which the Australian-born Murdoch had been forced to shut down amid a backlash.
Murdoch knew about the allegations and that the company’s denial was untrue, Sherborne added, saying it would have to have been approved by News Corp’s board.
