LONDON – Prince Harry will become the first senior British royal to give evidence in court in 130 years when he testifies next week in his lawsuit against a newspaper group he accuses of unlawful behaviour.
Prince Harry, who is fifth in line to the throne, has barely been out of the headlines in the past six months over his legal rows with the British press and , has been told that MGN journalists or private investigators commissioned by them carried out phone hacking on an “industrial scale”, and committed other unlawful acts to obtain information about the prince and the other claimants.
The court was told by a journalist and biographer of Prince Harry that one of those who knew about the hacking was former editor Piers Morgan, now one of Britain’s most high-profile broadcasters and an outspoken critic of the prince and his wife Meghan. At the start of the trial, MGN, now owned by Reach, apologised in court documents and admitted that on one occasion the Sunday People had unlawfully sought information about Prince Harry and that he was entitled to compensation.Instead, Buckingham Palace is likely to feature prominently in Prince Harry’s cross-examination, with MGN arguing that some information had come from royal aides.
