No event in the life of the young Prince Harry was too trivial or private for the journalists of Mirror Group Newspapers to resist, and the demand for such scoops led to the use of illegal means to dig up the dirt, his lawyer said on Monday during opening statements in his phone hacking lawsuit.“Nothing was sacrosanct or out of bounds and there was no protection from these unlawful information-gathering methods,” attorney David Sherborne said.
Mirror Group’s lawyer, Andrew Green, said he was “deeply troubled” by Harry’s absence, adding he’d need a day and a half to cross-examine the prince.The case against Mirror Group is the first of the prince’s several lawsuits against the media to go to trial, and one of three alleging tabloid publishers unlawfully snooped on him in their cut-throat competition for scoops on the royal family.
“Brothers can sometimes disagree but, once it is made public in this way and their inside feelings are revealed in the way that they are, trust begins to be eroded,” Sherborne said. Mirror Group has said it used documents, public statements and sources to legally report on the prince.journalists eavesdropped on voicemails and hired private eyes to report on Harry as they did on others that have been documented.reported he felt “badly” about the divorce of his mother and father, now King Charles III.
Mirror Group Newspapers said it didn’t hack Harry’s phone and its articles were based on legitimate reporting techniques.
