LONDON - Prince Harry is not criticising his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth, or Britain's royal family over a "secret agreement" with Rupert Murdoch's UK newspaper arm, his lawyer told London's High Court on Wednesday .
However, Harry says that he did not bring a lawsuit earlier because an agreement was struck between Buckingham Palace and senior figures at NGN to avoid embarrassment. Sherborne said Harry was "told more" about phone hacking in 2012, when Harry says in his witness statement that he was told his voicemails had been intercepted, "but that was essentially dealt with by his family ... and their solicitor".
Sherborne said that, if the case goes to trial, "there will need to be evidence" from Brooks and Thomson about the secret agreement. The case is one of four Harry is currently pursuing against British publishers, following claims in his Netflix documentary and memoir 'Spare' accusing tabloids of widespread unlawful activity and his family of colluding with them.
