Headline: Prince Harry's lawsuit against newspaper publisher to go to trial

Caption: Mr Justice Fancourt of London's High Court ruled that the Duke of Sussex can go to trial in 2024 against officials at News Group Newspapers (NGN), the publisher of the Sun and the now-defunct News of the World, over his allegations of unlawful information gathering. However, he ruled that the 38-year-old cannot pursue his claims of phone hacking. Lawyers for NGN had argued that the case should be thrown out because it was brought after the six-year time limit. The judge concluded that the royal was aware of the phone-hacking scandal and therefore lodged his claim too late.
