The BBC has not yet established when the duke's allegations date from. However, Jonny Dymond, the BBC's royal correspondent, says: "The presumption is this goes back to the phone-hacking scandal of the early 2000s." A spokeswoman for News Group Newspapers (NGN) - the publishers of the Sun and the News of The World - said: "We confirm that a claim has been issued by the Duke of Sussex. A source at Reach, which owns the Mirror, told the Press Association it was aware proceedings had been issued but had not yet received them, so was unable to comment further.

Yep. And like the article said, hacking a royal with a shit ton of money was dumb. This isn't going to he settled out of court unless Harry and Meghan don't meant the hassle of a trial. And they already said whatever money they get they are donating to anti bullying groups so I can see them going full on I hope they go full on because just no to hacking peoples private phones.

Was it the Daily Mail that did the phone hacking this time? I mean, they are the worst of the worst kind of tabloid, so it isn't surprising at all. The Sun and the Mirror, Iβm not sure about the DM. And were these publications part of the press pack in South Africa?

I don't see similarities other than the neckline.

Ok, I finally got a good enough Internet connection to upload some videos for y'all.
During the tour of Kensington Palace yesterday, I saw the Jewel Room, where they have royal jewelry on display. Some of these are tiaras we've admired here in the past. I made videos so y'all can see how they sparkle. Not gonna lie, they were mesmerizing in person. I could have stayed there for hours just staring at them.
Enjoy the videos!

And as soon as I recognized them, I knew I had to get pictures and video for y'all. I kinda wanna go back just to stare at them some more, lol.

I would have been fangirling pretty hard too.

So, the phone hacking claims from the early 2000's? So he's suing for something that happened more than 10 years ago? Why now?
Is it just to add to Megan's lawsuit over the letter, anything they can add to try and shut up the trash magazines?
I really hope she takes them down over the letter. But didn't her dad sell it? That's just heartbreaking.

Kate has dealt with shit too, letβs not get it twisted. Her stuff goes back many years, and donβt forget the topless pic they got of her.

If they've started it again, that's disgusting. And stupid.

I love seeing George in the wild. He just looks like such an energetic little dude. Iβm sure his life will ruin him soon enough, but for now.... Itβs kinda sad. I mean I know they have wealth and power, but the ones born into the BRF have no control over who they are and who they must turn into. Especially the first born. What a weight that must be once you realize it and how stressful it must be to raise a future king or queen. I donβt envy that.

I just think of convos I have with my own (almost) 6yo. I love asking him what he wants to be when he grows up, he loves to tell me all the subjects in school he likes βIβm going to be a scientist!β To be their parent and know they have no choice in a career path must be something.
