00:00A London judge has ruled that Prince Harry will not be able to expand his privacy lawsuit
00:04against a British tabloid to include allegations made against media mogul Rupert Murdoch
00:09and Pierce Morgan. After filing a lawsuit against UK tabloid The Sun's publisher
00:14News Group Newspapers, Prince Harry's lawyers were hoping to sue over claims that Murdoch
00:20and other top executives were part of an effort to conceal and destroy evidence
00:24of unlawful information gathering. The prince alleges that he was targeted by journalists
00:29and private investigators working for NGN. In March, he sought to amend his case to add new
00:34allegations, including that The Sun ordered private investigators to target his now-wife Megan in 2016.
00:41A London judge ruled that allegations that Murdoch turned a blind eye to wrongdoing
00:45added nothing meaningful to claims made against News Group Newspapers by the Duke.
00:49NGN has denied that any illegal activity took place at The Sun. Following the judge's ruling,
00:54a spokesperson for NGN said the court thoroughly vindicated their position.
00:59Harry, who's breaking royal tradition with his fight against the tabloids and is the first in
01:03the family to testify in open court in over a century, also has a pending case against British
01:08tabloid The Daily Mail. For more on this story, hit to THR.com. And for the latest entertainment
