LONDON (Reuters) -Prince Harry can proceed with some of his
lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's UK newspaper arm but his allegations of
phone-hacking were made too late, London's High Court ruled on Thursday. |

Harry is suing Murdoch's News Group Newspapers (NGN) over
multiple acts of wrongdoing he says were committed on behalf of
its tabloids, the Sun and the now-defunct News of the World,
from the mid-1990s until 2016.
NGN had argued during hearings in April that the claims should
be struck out because they fell outside the six-year time limit
for legal action to have been brought.
