Lawyers representing Prince Harry in his

phone

hacking

lawsuit are back in

court

this morning. The big bombshell in the case so far. The revelation yesterday that Harry's brother Prince William got a huge deal from Rupert Murdoch's newspaper group in 2020. Abby kugadasan is in London and she has the latest on Revelations so why don't we start there? Abby good morning good morning Heather Prince Harry as we know has filed several lawsuits here in the UK and this particular case alleges that the sun interfered with the

phone

which is a tabloid owned by the News. Newspapers from the group that is Rupert Murdoch's company and in 2014 an editor of another Murdoch publication that no longer exists admitted in

court

to having hacked into the voicemails of now Prince and Princess of Wales William and Kate along with Harry and the Prince Harry now says the tabloid of the sun. he has done the same but ngn argues his case should be dismissed saying it's been too long, it's been over six years which is standard under english law but the duke of sussex argues he couldn't go on with this . earlier because his family had made a secret deal with ngn, he believes they did it to make sure Prince William his brother didn't have to testify in court and these new court

documents

also allege Prince William received a

large

sum of money from ngn to liquidate the telegraph thinks it's about a million pounds this of course raises questions about the Future King accepting what might be considered hush money and doing so in secret ngn says there was no deal, but they didn't tell Heather if they were worth it. the heir to the throne abby let's talk since we're mentioning

prince

harry his father's coronation for king charles coronation is less than two weeks away now we know

prince

harry will be in attendance how are relations with his family right now i mean say that he's uptight is probably an understatement, as he's estranged from the royal family since leaving England.

Prince Harry has repeatedly said that reforming the British press is his life's work. He says the tabloids hounded his mother and made her life miserable. he was absolutely unbearable for his wife Megan once she started dating him, but he has also repeatedly said that the various royal houses leak information to certain members of the press. Here is the actual author Alexander Larman on yesterday's Revelations. One thing Harry has been consistent about personally, of course, is his aversion to the media but secondly is the complicity that exists between the British press and the royal family and he has said time and time again that there is a closer relationship. and welcoming than it should be because it goes way beyond just gathering information, he talked about that quite a bit in the Netflix special, he also talked about that in his tell-all book, and as we know, the relationship with his brother William in particular, royal commentators say it's absolutely beyond repair and yesterday's Court Revelations won't. help and of course as you mentioned Heather the siblings will be back together, perhaps awkwardly, in less than two weeks when his father is King of the Crown, thanks from London.
