Prince Harry won a high-profile trial against the British tabloid system MGN six months ago, where he sued them for illegally collecting information and invading his privacy by hacking into his personal phone. Despite receiving compensation, suspicions have arisen that Harry may have deleted evidence related to the case.
In response to these allegations, Harry’s lawyer has argued that they are baseless and that Harry has provided all necessary evidence to the court. The High Court ruled in January 2023 that Harry must disclose drafts of his book and messages related to its writing, even if they were deleted after the lawsuit was filed in 2019. The judge expressed concern about the deleted documents and ordered efforts to recover them.
The court also instructed Harry’s legal team to request communication records from the royal household, further investigating the allegations of deleted evidence. Prince Harry initially filed the lawsuit in 2019, claiming to have been a target of illegal information gathering for 15 years by the newspaper system. The court confirmed his claims and ruled in his favor in January.
Despite winning the trial, new evidence has come to light as suspicions of deleted evidence resurface. The legal battle between Prince Harry and MGN continues as both parties continue to present their cases before a judge.
The situation has taken a new turn with suspicions of deleted evidence resurfacing. Despite winning the trial against MGN over six months ago for illegal information collection and invasion of privacy, there are still lingering questions about whether Prince Harry may have tampered with evidence related to the case.
Harry’s lawyer argues that these allegations are baseless and that he provided all necessary evidence to the court during the trial process. However, concerns remain about missing documents such as text messages related to his memoir “Spare,” which was published earlier this year.
As a result, Prince William is being asked for communication records from his royal household while there is ongoing investigation into any possible deleted evidence by Prince Harry’s legal team.
The original lawsuit claimed that MGN had been illegally collecting information on Prince Harry for over 15 years through hacking into his personal phone line. The High Court confirmed those claims in January when it ruled in favor of Prince Harry.
However, with new allegations surfacing about deleted evidence related to “Spare,” it seems like this saga between Prince Harry and MGN might not be over just yet.
