LONDON — Prince Harry has launched legal proceedings against the owners of two British tabloids over accusations that they hacked his phones, opening a new front in his unprecedented campaign against the news industry’s treatment of him and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.
It was the second time in recent days that the prince took aim at British tabloids. Earlier this week he said that Meghan had been a victim of “a ruthless campaign” against her, and that he had been “a silent witness to her private suffering for too long.”
The legal action, confirmed by Buckingham Palace, concerns allegations that the tabloids had illegally intercepted voice mail messages, though there were few additional details. British news outlets reported that the claims likely stemmed from incidents of phone hacking in the early 2000s.
The claims were brought last week against the owners of The Sun and The Daily Mirror, according to court filings published in the British press.
