In a significant development at the High Court, Prince Harry's legal team has presented evidence against Rupert Murdoch's media empire, implicating Murdoch and several high-ranking officials in a widespread phone-hacking scandal. The evidence includes the 'PI Annex,' a document listing numerous private investigators allegedly engaged unlawfully by Murdoch's newspapers. The court heard allegations that Murdoch turned a blind eye to phone hacking activities at the now-defunct News Of The World. Furthermore, lawyers representing Harry, alongside actor Hugh Grant, have accused Murdoch, WaPo publisher Will Lewis, and News UK boss Rebekah Jones of personal involvement in the scandal. A group of 45 individuals is currently suing News Group Newspapers for allegedly obtaining information illegally, claiming that Murdoch's position within the company would have made him aware of the illicit activities long before they were exposed to the public.
