US EditionDaily Mail Editor Denies Requesting Illegally Obtained Flight Details in Harry Case
Rebecca English denied requesting or using unlawfully obtained flight details amid claims of illegal information gathering in a High Court trial involving Prince Harry and other public figures.
- On Monday, Rebecca English, Daily Mail royal editor, denied asking for stolen flight data about Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy at the Royal Courts of Justice.
- Prince Harry and six other plaintiffs allege ANL used unlawfully sourced flight details, with court evidence including an email asking `can plant someone next to her?`, court heard.
- Evidence shown to the court included an email with flight data and a proposal to 'plant' someone beside Ms Davy, which Sherborne said could only come from the airline computer system.
- Associated Newspapers denies wrongdoing and is defending the case, which is due to conclude in March, with a written judgment expected later.
- Amid disputed sourcing, English said details likely came from Leeds University students and palace press officers, while Harry disputes phone-tapping and investigator use, as he alleges in his statement.
