Prince Harry claims secret deal between royal family and Rupert Murdoch's media company
Prince Harry has claimed that there was a secret agreement between the royal family and Rupert Murdoch's media company, News Group Newspapers, at some point before 2012. The prince alleges that his father, Prince Charles, intervened in his legal action against British newspaper outlets in 2019, demanding he stop the legal cases against the newspapers. Prince William also received a secret payment from News Group Newspapers in 2020 to settle his own phone-hacking claim. Prince Harry is seeking at least £200,000 in damages and alleges that the Sun newspaper illegally hacked his voicemails and hired private investigators to blag private information about his relationships during the 2000s.
