Prince Harry has been told by a London High Court judge that he will not be allowed to bring claims that he was the victim of bugging and tracking devices.
For six years, Harry has been suing News Group Newspapers, which publishes The Sun newspaper, for alleged unlawful information gathering by journalists and their contractors.

He permitted Harry’s legal team to make certain amendments, but refused to let them include allegations that bugs were placed in rooms and cars, and trackers placed on vehicles, saying: “No particulars whatsoever of such allegations have been provided.” During his summing up, Mr Justice Fancourt described the lawsuit as resembling a campaign between “two obdurate but well-resourced armies” that is taking up “more than an appropriate” amount of court time.
