Prince Harry has accused the royal institution of withholding information from him in a witness statement submitted as part of his legal case against Associated Newspapers Ltd.
The Duke of Sussex alleged that the institution withheld information from him about the News Group Newspapers phone hacking scandal, which only became clear when he pursued his own claim with different legal advice and representation.
Harry claimed that the institution was without a doubt withholding information from him for a long time and that Palace policy prevented him from knowing that he could bring a claim to court until years later.
Harry’s legal case against Associated Newspapers Ltd concerns alleged unlawful practices used to gather information, including phone tapping, which were used in news stories.

In his statement, Harry not only accused the publisher of “criminality” for allegedly obtaining his private information through illegal means, but he also called out the royal institution for failing to take action against the press in the wake of vicious persistent attacks on, harassment of, and intrusive, sometimes racist articles against Meghan Markle during the early days of their relationship.
The 38-year-old stated that he became “increasingly troubled” by the approach of not taking action against the press, and when Meghan became pregnant with the couple’s son Prince Archie in 2018, the situation got worse.
Harry claimed that members of the Royal Family and friends of his may have been targeted by News Group Newspapers, and he has no idea whether they have brought claims, as each office in the institution is siloed.
Harry’s witness statement was submitted to England’s High Court, where he is suing Associated Newspapers Ltd.
Several other prominent figures, including Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley, are also taking legal action against the publisher.
The Duke of Sussex appeared in court on March 25 and 26 to address the allegations.

In response to Harry’s allegations, a company spokesperson for Associated Newspapers Ltd told the BBC that they utterly and unambiguously refute the preposterous smears which appear to be nothing more than a pre-planned and orchestrated attempt to drag the Mail titles into the phone hacking scandal concerning articles up to 30 years old.
Harry, however, remains committed to pursuing his legal case, claiming that the British public deserves to know the full extent of the cover-up and that he feels it is his duty to expose it.
