Prince Harry is seeking a huge damage control in his battle against famed media houses. About four years have passed since the Duke of Sussex took legal action against the owners of The Sun and other publishers. The dispute started over the alleged illegal phone hacking and breaking into his personal life. Most recently, Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News agreed to settle the lawsuit with $787.5m (£635m). However, it appears the royal did not accept the offer and is going to pull The Sun’s former editor Rebekah Brooks into this scandal.

According to The Guardian, Prince Harry is going to claim at least £200,000 in damages when the hearing starts on Tuesday. The court will move forward with his claims about hacking voicemails. Not to forget, the private investigators who were hired to keep an eye on his private life. These incidents took place in the 2000s when Brooks was The Sun’s editor.

In the upcoming court trial, the 38-year-old is expected to present fresh testimony about the whole scandal. This will include how the media interference has affected his relationships and family. The duke has also expressed his feelings for Brooks in his book Spare, who was a part of all this. “Everyone who knew her was in full agreement that she was an infected pustule on the arse of humanity, plus a shit excuse for a journalist,” he remarked.

Meanwhile, considering the coronation is near this might not be the best time to recall all the sore memories for King Charles. Many may remember that Harry accused the royal family that they had a hand in the whole media war.

Prince Harry charged royals for hiding information from him

The Son of Princess Diana accused the royal members last month in a statement that they have hidden information about phone hacking from him. He openly stated that his family is backing out because they will not go against the British newspaper industry. “It was made clear to me that the royal family did not sit in the witness box because that could open up a can of worms,” he quoted.

Meanwhile, as of now, the royals and the prince are gearing up for the coronation that will take place on May 6.
