A lawyer acting for Rupert Murdoch’s UK newspaper arm has accused Prince Harry of being forced “kicking and screaming” to disclose emails and carry out searches of material that might be relevant in his lawsuit against the media group.
Anthony Hudson, NGN’s lawyer, told the court that they had no choice but to seek the order, accusing Harry of “obfuscation” and adding the claimant was creating an “obstacle course” on the issue. Hudson said he was concerned that Harry’s team had stated that correspondence between Harry and JR Moehringer, the ghostwriter of his hugely successful memoir Spare, over the messaging app Signal had all been wiped.
