Prince Harry’s lawyer implicates Rupert Murdoch in cover-up of unlawful snooping by his tabloids

LONDON—Prince Harry’s lawyer says the cover-up of unlawful information gathering at British tabloids owned by Rupert Murdoch went all the way to the top.

Attorney David Sherborne said Wednesday in the High Court that Murdoch was among the executives aware of skullduggery carried out by journalists and private investigators working for the now-defunct News of the World and The Sun.

A lawyer for at News Group Newspapers says the Duke of Sussex and others shouldn’t be allowed to include Murdoch in their claims.

Attorney Anthony Hudson says additions to the litigation mention Murdoch in passing without making specific allegations.
