Imagine the scandal if David Cameron got found out pulling strings to get the charges dropped or her acquited? 
Rebekah Brooks and her husband, Charlie, are being charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice over the phone hacking inquiry.
Three of Mrs Brooks's staff, and News International security head Mark Hanna are also charged with the offence.
The charges relate to alleged offences in July last year including concealing documents and computers from police.
The former News of the World editor and her husband said in a statement: "We deplore this weak and unjust decision."
The charges are the first in an inquiry lasting 18 months - more than 40 other people remain on police bail in the investigation.
Mrs Brooks quit as chief executive of News International in July 2011 after the phone-hacking scandal led to the News of the World's closure.
She has denied any knowledge of phone-hacking on her watch.
