Harry Sues Sun and Mirror's Owners in Phone-Hacking Claim
The Duke of Sussex has begun legal action against the owners of the Sun, the defunct News of the World, and the Daily Mirror, in relation to alleged phone-hacking.
BBC 1 MAR 2023
Documents have been filed on behalf of Prince Harry over the alleged illegal interception of voicemail messages, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
A spokeswoman for News Group Newspapers (NGN) - the publishers of the Sun and the News of The World - said: "We confirm that a claim has been issued by the Duke of Sussex."
The details of the duke's new legal action were first reported by the website Byline.
The BBC understands the duke's allegations against NGN predate 2010, but it is not yet clear when his claims against the Mirror date from.
A source at Reach, which owns the Mirror, told the Press Association it was aware proceedings had been issued but had not yet received them, so was unable to comment further.
Jonny Dymond, the BBC's royal correspondent, says the presumption is the legal action goes back to the phone-hacking scandal of the early 2000s.
The case will begin in May
