Scotland Yard has come under fire for not acting on Prince Harry’s phone hacking case despite a High Court ruling in December 2023 that ordered the Duke of Sussex to pay £150,000 in damages.
The Metropolitan Police had pledged to “carefully consider” the decision following Harry’s victory against the publisher, but more than a year on, they have remained silent, prompting increased criticism, GB News reported. Reported.
Close associates of the claimants are questioning the authorities’ reluctance to act, especially after the court found evidence of widespread and habitual phone hacking in MGN’s publications.
Despite Duke’s repeated calls for a full investigation, police have not commented further than to acknowledge their awareness of the verdict.
With Prince Harry’s calls for an investigation unanswered, the public is waiting to see if further legal action will be taken or if the matter remains unresolved.
