Prince Harry with his wife Meghan
On Tuesday, London’s High Court ruled that Prince Harry cannot amend his lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch’s British tabloid newspapers to include allegations involving his wife Meghan nor claims against the media mogul himself.
In a lawsuit against News Group Newspapers (NGN), the prince and over 40 others claim that between the mid-1990s and 2016, journalists and private investigators engaged in illicit operations on behalf of the Sun and the now-defunct News of the World.
In March the British royal attempted to alter his lawsuit to include fresh allegations, including that the Sun directed private investigators to target his then-girlfriend – and now-wife Meghan – in 2016.
However, in a ruling on Tuesday, Judge Timothy Fancourt denied him permission to do so, as well as to include allegations implicating his late mother, Princess Diana, from 1994 and 1995.
The court also rejected an application to include claims against Rupert Murdoch himself and other senior executives.
However, Harry was allowed to amend his case to include charges that the publications had tapped his landline phones, as well as accusations against more journalists and private investigators.
According to a spokesperson for NGN, the court in its judgment today has thoroughly vindicated NGN’s position and did not give permission to introduce large and significant portions of the amendments.
