Prince Harry leads seven high-profile claimants in a nine-week trial alleging Daily Mail publisher unlawfully accessed private information for sensational headlines.
- On Jan 19, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, begins a nine-week privacy trial at the Royal Courts of Justice, London, against Associated Newspapers Ltd.
- Claimants allege Associated Newspapers Ltd. hired private investigators to bug cars and homes, blag medical and personal records, and Prince Harry’s claim covers 14 articles obtained unlawfully.
- Some private investigators gave sworn statements supporting the claims and later denied involvement, with one saying his signature was forged, and Associated Newspapers Ltd. failed to dismiss the case as time-barred.
- Harry is expected to give evidence this week and take a full day of testimony on Thursday as millions in damages and legal costs are at stake, with his visit limited and no meeting with King Charles III.
- As context, this trial is the third major case Harry has brought against UK papers, following wins against Mirror Group Newspapers and settlements with News Group Newspapers , as claimants seek to prove unlawful methods were widespread, potentially influencing tabloid press and legal standards.
