It has been confirmed that six months after the last ruling in his favor, Prince Harry was accused of ‘deliberately destroying’ crucial evidence in the privacy breach case he won in December, from which he received $180,700 for the consequences to his image.
While it has been a long time coming, it was just last Thursday that lawyer Anthony Hudson decided to charge the youngest son of King Charles III in the High Court with deliberately removing relevant and circumstantial evidence in the case.
Judge Timothy Fancourt, presiding judge, said that suppressing evidence when the case was already underway was ‘quite serious‘ and asked the royals to produce all records of communication with the Duke of Sussex during that time, where he exchanged information with his ghostwriter of the memoir ‘Spare‘.
Prince Harry’s lawyer, David Sherborne, said, “NGN’s tactical and sluggish approach to disclosure wholly undermines the deliberately sensational assertion that the claimant [Harry] has not properly carried out the disclosure exercise” and added, “This is untrue. In fact, the claimant has already made clear that he has conducted extensive searches, going above and beyond his obligations“.
