Prince Harry cannot amend his lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's British tabloids to include allegations involving his wife Meghan Markle, nor charges against the media mogul himself, London's High Court said on Tuesday (21).
The prince and more than 40 others are suing News Group Newspapers (NGN) over allegations of illegal activities by journalists and private investigators, from the Sun and the now-defunct News of the World, from the mid-1990s until 2016.
In March, the British royal sought to amend her lawsuit to add new allegations, including that the Sun ordered private investigators to target her then-girlfriend – and now wife Meghan – in 2016.
However, in his decision this Tuesday (21), Judge Timothy Fancourt refused to include the new evidence and also the allegations dating back to 1994 and 1995, involving his late mother, Princess Diana.
The judge also rejected a request to include charges against Murdoch himself and other senior executives.
However, Harry was allowed to amend his case to include allegations that newspapers had tapped his landline and to make accusations against other journalists and private investigators.
“The court, in its judgment today, completely vindicated NGN's position and did not give permission to introduce any significant changes,” said a company spokesperson.
