and the hits just keep coming and coming....
Rupert Murdoch is under fire for phone-hacking at the now-defunct News of the World but in 1993, one of his then Australian publications, New Idea, scooped the world by publishing an intimate phone conversation between Prince Charles and his lover, Camilla Parker Bowles. Alex Mitchell, The Sun-Herald's London correspondent at the time, asks why the culprits have never been brought to justice.
One of the most sensational and damaging British royal stories of the 20th century was the transcript of an illegally taped phone conversation between the married heir to the throne, Prince Charles, and his mistress, Camilla Parker Bowles.
The story was ''broken'' by New Idea, the women's magazine then part of Rupert Murdoch's media empire, in January 1993. Mr Murdoch's British papers, the rest of Fleet Street and the world media then republished with abandon.
