Prince Harry accused of ‘deliberately destroying’ evidence in phone hacking case

Back in December, Harry was awarded $180,700 after London’s High Court ruled that the Duke of Sussex was a victim of “modest” phone-hacking.

Prince Harry has been accused of “deliberately destroying” potential evidence in his phone hacking case, a court was told. The case is related to his High Court phone hacking claim against the publisher of The Sun.

Back in December, Harry was awarded $180,700 after London’s High Court ruled that the Duke of Sussex was a victim of “modest” phone-hacking. The court determined that he was also a victim of other unlawful information gathering by journalists.

An attorney for the publisher of the British tabloid has now accused Harry of being involved in “shocking” and “extraordinary” obfuscation. Attorney Anthony Hudson accused Harry at High Court of destroying text messages exchanged with the ghostwriter who wrote his memoir, Spare.
