In Prince Harry’s showdown with nemesis Piers Morgan in a London court, the Duke of Sussex’s legal team elicited testimony Monday from a controversial royal reporter who said he heard Piers Morgan discussing the use of phone-hacking for a celebrity story while Morgan was the editor of the Daily Mirror in 2002.
“Mr. Morgan was asking how confident they were in the reporting and was told that the information had come from voicemails,” Scobie said. Morgan “seemed reassured” after being informed that the story about Minogue’s private life came from voicemails,. “I recall being surprised to hear this at the time, which is why it stuck in my mind,” Scobie said.
Scobie could be seen as a tricky witness on behalf of Harry, in that other U.K. papers have labeled him the Sussexes’ unofficial spokesperson. After Harry and Meghan long denied cooperating with Scobie and his co-author on “Finding Freedom,” Meghan was forced to admit in another court case that she in fact authorized the release of certain private information to the writers.
