Prince Harry is under fire for allegedly destroying evidence in his legal battle against The Sun newspaper for privacy violations.
An attorney for The Sun accused Harry of destroying text messages with his ghostwriter, a claim denied by Harry's lawyer.
This lawsuit is part of Harry's broader fight against British tabloids for alleged phone hacking and invasion of privacy, linked to the 2011 News of the World scandal.
Despite settlements and apologies, the tabloids have not accepted liability for the alleged practices.
The judge recently ruled against Harry's attempt to expand his lawsuit to include Rupert Murdoch for allegedly concealing unlawful activity.
The trial is scheduled for January 2025, with NGN seeking an order for Harry to disclose all information related to the alleged privacy violations before 2013.
The judge is expected to rule on The Sun's application for disclosure.
