November 10, 2023 04:49 pm | Updated 04:49 pm IST - LondonA British judge ruled Friday that a lawsuit by Prince Harry, Elton John and five other celebrities accusing a newspaper publisher of unlawful information-gathering should go to a full trial. Prince Harry said the publisher targeted him and the people closest to him by unlawfully hacking voicemails, tapping landlines, obtaining itemized phone bills and the flight information of his then-girlfriend, Chelsy Davy. Judge Matthew Nicklin ruled that the claimants cannot rely on the documents handed over to the 2012 Leveson inquiry. The case is one of several lawsuits brought in the U.K. by Prince Harry, who has made it a personal mission to tame Britain's tabloid press. Prince Harry is also suing the publisher of The Sun newspaper alongside actor Hugh Grant.
