Prince Harry begins testifying in his phone hacking lawsuit against Daily Mail

Prince Harry and six others accuse Associated Newspapers Ltd. of two decades of unlawful information gathering, with tens of millions of dollars in damages sought.

  • On Wednesday, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, entered the witness box at London's High Court to begin testimony in his privacy invasion case against Associated Newspapers Ltd.
  • Allegations center on a two-decade campaign of `clear, systematic and sustained use of unlawful information gathering` by Associated Newspapers Ltd., including hiring private investigators to bug cars and obtain records.
  • Entering the witness box, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, swore on a small Bible and asked to be addressed simply as Prince Harry while Antony White, defense lawyer, began cross-examining him in a dark suit on Wednesday.
  • Tens of millions of dollars are at stake as Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and co-plaintiffs seek damages, while Associated Newspapers Ltd., publisher of the Daily Mail, denies claims and plans to call witnesses in the nine-week trial.
  • This marks his second appearance in court after testifying in a 2026 case, part of the wider phone-hacking scandal that left Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, `paranoid beyond belief`.
