Prince Harry says royal family 'without a doubt' withheld information over phone hacking
Prince Harry has said the royal family "without a doubt" withheld information from him on phone hacking.who has not been seen in the UK since the Queen's funeral, is among several people suing Associated Newspapers, the company that publishes the Daily Mail, the Mail on Sunday and MailOnline.
The seven claimants, who also include Elton John and his husband David Furnish, Sadie Frost, Liz Hurley and Doreen Lawrence have made allegations of unlawful information gathering against the publisher. In a witness statement submitted before his civil claim, the Duke of Sussex said that he was conditioned to accept his family's rule to "never complain, never explain" when dealing with the press."The Institution was without a doubt withholding information from me for a long time about NGN's phone hacking and that has only become clear in recent years as I have pursued my own claim with different legal advice and representation," he said.
Addressing the matter of other phone hacking claims previously taken to court by members of the royal family, Harry added: "It is not an exaggeration to say that the bubble burst in terms of what I knew in 2020 when I moved out of the United Kingdom." He continued: "There was never any centralised discussion between us about who had brought claims as each office in the Institution is siloed. There is this misconception that we are all in constant communication with one another but that is not true."
