Prince Harry’s Phone-Hacking Claim Thrown Out By Judge -- But He's Still Going To Trial!

perezhilton.com:

Well, this isn’t exactly going Prince Harry‘s way! The Duke of Sussex has been met with a bitter blow in his battle against one UK publisher.

On Thursday, a judge dismissed the 38-year-old’s phone-hacking claims against News Group Newspapers, the publisher of the now-defunct News of the World, The Sun, and the Daily Mirror.

In the hearing in London’s High Court on Thursday, Justice Timothy Fancourt determined Harry waited too long to bring the phone-hacking claims to court after allegedly uncovering the scandal years ago.

If you didn’t know, NGN actually apologized for widespread phone hacking by journalists at News of the World in 2012 — which led to the newspaper getting shut down amid all the backlash.

Interestingly, though, they denied allegations of doing similar things at The Sun. Either way, it was well-known the group had (allegedly) been up to some shady s**t, so they’ve been arguing that Harry should have sued him right when he found out — not after the six-year time limit for legal action.
