Prince Harry Green-Lighted to Present Publication for Court Trials as Crusade Against Tabloids Continue

Published 07/27/2023, 1:30 PM EDT

The Duke and his endless saga of settling the scores with the UK tabloid have taken an interesting turn. The rogue royal who has been using the ravaging newspapers in the parallel legal cases has won scoring points against his opponents. Earlier reports claimed that Prince Harry was not having much of a really good time in the court fight. Having had to fight tears back, the Duke went through some hard-wired acts. However, the night is always darker before dawn and it seems like Prince Harry had finally got his first rays of sunshine.

Prince Harry’s lawsuit was taken up by the London High Court to decide if he could proceed with the trial against Rupert Murdoch Papers. He has accused the British newspaper of the Murdoch Company of a slew of phone hacking claims and other “unlawful activities”.

Latest reports from Reuters have made clear the jurisdiction of the court regarding the trial pass. The Duke had launched his legal plea of the trial against The Sun publishers. The road lies clear ahead of the Duke as Justice Timothy Fancourt has green-lighted him to bring the publisher to the court for his claims of personal damage. He can thus further proceed with the complaints of multiple acts of wrongdoing of The Sun and now defunct News of the World.

The Prince, however, has run out of time for the claims of phone hacking cases of the royals.

Why can’t Prince Harry proceed with the hack complaints?

The Duke, who became the first ever British royal in more than a century to step into the threshold of the court premises, launched his battle against the media. While he tried to bring justice to all the unlawful activities his family had fallen prey to, the Prince forgot to realize that they fell under the 1990s and early 2000s time period.

The Institution had a secret arrangement with the Newspapers regarding the same, which has now barred the Prince from proceeding further with them. NGN lawyers argued earlier this year in April that those claims should be rendered null and void. Prince Harry’s lawsuits reportedly exceeded the six-year time limit, falling out of which, the legal action is not to be considered.
