The Daily Mail’s owner, the prince and Elton John could be on the road to one of the biggest media trials in British history
When the Duke of Sussex unexpectedly arrived at the high court on Monday morning he became the most senior royal to appear in a courtroom since Princess AnnePrince Harry was there to allege thatHe alleged its newspapers pretended to be a “beacon of truth and integrity” while in reality they “widely and habitually carried out or commissioned illegal or unlawful information-gathering activities”.
“The evidence I have seen shows that Associated’s journalists are criminals with journalistic powers which should concern every single one of us. The British public deserve to know the full extent of this cover-up and I feel it is my duty to expose it.”has described the claims as “preposterous smears” – and highlighted how Harry and his co-claimants appear to be relying on testimony from a private investigator who has since retracted his statement.
This was not a hearing where witnesses gave dramatic evidence under cross-examination. Instead it was a series of technical legal applications by Associated Newspapers, who are trying to stop the claims of voicemail interception, medical records blagging and the bugging of cars from reaching trial.The newspaper group is hoping to kill the case at an early stage while simultaneously discrediting the material used as the basis of Harry’s allegations.
