"Prince Harry's Lawyer Implicates Rupert Murdoch in Phone Hacking Cover-Up"

Prince Harry and Hugh Grant's lawyers seek to amend their phone-hacking lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers, alleging that Murdoch, Will Lewis, and Rebekah Brooks were personally involved in covering up the scandal. The lawsuit aims to include them, along with former executives and private investigators, in the case over alleged phone hackings between the late 1990s and 2016. The case is expected to go to trial in January 2025, with the plaintiffs alleging a deliberate cover-up of executive knowledge of the company's actions. News U.K. and NGN have pushed back against the proposed amendment, claiming it is irrelevant to the fair determination of claims. Lewis, now the publisher of The Washington Post, has faced increased scrutiny over his alleged involvement in covering up the scandal during his time at News U.K.
