Rupert Murdoch suing ITV and ITN over Princess Kate farm shop video | City & Business | Finance

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is suing ITV and ITN for reportedly using a video released by The Sun of Princess Kate at a farm shop in Windsor.

News Group Newspapers, Mr Murdoch’s firm that publishes The Sun, has filed an intellectual property claim against the broadcasters that produce the ITV News programming.

According to The Telegraph, the claim is thought to relate to a video showing the Princess of Wales with her husband Prince William at a farm shop in the Berkshire town last month.

The footage was exclusively obtained by The Sun and showed the princess in public for the first time after she underwent abdominal surgery.

Since then the princess revealed she was undergoing treatment for cancer.

It is believed The Sun is thought to be looking for a five-figure compensation package for the alleged copyright breach. ITV however said it will “strongly resist” any claim.
