Reporting by Emily Mee and Katie Williams at the High CourtIt couldn't be more personal. Harry blames the tabloids for damaging his life and ending the life of his mother.
These were articles about his private life, his personal life and his professional life. They were articles and intrusion which he says caused paranoia, suspicion, and huge bouts of depression. But settling has never been on the cards for Prince Harry, because he wants his allegations heard in open court. He wants them heard, and unlike many other alleged victims of phone hacking, he can afford to take his fight as far as he can.That job is now well under way.This is the scene outside the High Court in London right now, with the media certainly thinking there's a chance Harry will show up this morning.
Mr Sherborne alleged journalists at MGN had used practices such as phone hacking, securing information through deception and hiring private investigators in a"habitual" manner. Morgan has denied being involved in phone hacking, saying in an interview with the BBC earlier this month:"I think phone hacking is completely wrong and shouldn't have been happening and it was lazy journalists being lazy."
Such is his mission to change the media landscape, he is prepared to put himself in the witness box, subject to rigorous cross-examination from some of the most challenging and probing lawyers in Britain. Morgan has denied this and said he isn't going to take lectures on privacy invasion from"somebody who has spent the last three years ruthlessly and cynically invading the Royal Family's privacy for vast commercial gain".
Prince Harry will be the first claimant set to give evidence in the trial - marking a highly unusual appearance of a royal as a witness in court. 16:46:23Court is not due to sit next week, and will return in June, when Prince Harry is expected to give evidence in his civil trial against Mirror Group Newspapers.
Mr Partington told the court that infringing on a person's privacy was"a matter for editors" and the legal team did not need to know the source of a story to give advice
