Prince Harry tells UK court of lifelong 'press invasion' ⬇️
Prince Harry on Tuesday said he had suffered lifelong "press invasion" and accused some media of having blood on their hands, as he became the first royal in more than 100 years to give evidence in court.
“How much more blood will stain their typing fingers before someone can put a stop to this madness,” the younger son of King Charles III added in a witness statement. Harry is accusing Mirror Group Newspapers Ltd — publisher of The Mirror, Sunday Mirror and the Sunday People tabloids — of illegal information gathering, including phone hacking.
The prince earned a rebuke from the judge on Monday for not turning up for the opening statement in his case as he had been attending his young daughter’s second birthday on Sunday. At the start of the trial on May 10, MGN apologised and admitted to “some evidence” of unlawful information gathering, including for a story about Harry.Sherborne submitted that “industrial scale” illegal activities were happening at MGN and had been approved by senior executives.
He also alleged the monarchy wanted to prevent the opening of a “Pandora’s Box” of negative coverage that could tarnish the royal brand.He has also taken Associated Newspapers , publisher of the Daily Mail, to court over alleged breaches of privacy, and Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers, which publishes The Sun.
