The British publisher of the Daily Mirror apologized for one instance of snooping on Prince Harry but denied his other claims Wednesday.
We apologize, but this video has failed to load.Publisher Mirror Group Newspapers denied that it hacked phones to intercept voicemail messages of Harry and the three others and it said they had brought their claims well past a six-year time limit.
The case, the first of the duke’s three phone hacking lawsuits to go to trial, threatens to do something he said his family long feared: put a royal on the witness stand to discuss embarrassing revelations. In a stunning revelation in a related case last month that dredged up an embarrassing chapter in his father’s life, Harry blamed his delay in bringing suit, in part, on his family.
Harry said that his brother, Prince William, had quietly settled his own hacking claims with News Group for a “huge sum of money” in 2020. He also claimed his father had directed palace staff to order him to drop his litigation because it was bad for the family. It apologized for a February 2004 article in Sunday People that described “royal romeo Prince Harry” romancing two “stunning” models at London’s Chinawhite nightclub “during his boozy night out.”
