Britain's Prince Harry arrives at London's High Court to give evidence in hacking trial

BRITAIN’S PRINCE HARRY has arrived at the High Court in London to give evidence in his claim against the publisher of the Mirror over alleged unlawful information-gathering.

He had been expected to attend court yesterday but his lawyers said he would not appear until today, when he is due to face cross-examination from MGN’s barrister. Sherborne told the court yesterday that the duke was subjected to unlawful information-gathering activity “right from when he was a young boy at school” into adulthood, adding: “Nothing was sacrosanct or out of bounds.”

Sherborne said the 147 articles in Harry’s claim are a “fraction” of all the articles written about the duke’s private life during that time, adding that MGN disclosed “almost 2,500” articles published about him throughout that period.He said MGN had a “huge interest” in the royal family, the duke in particular, and “every aspect of his private life”.

On the first day of the trial, lawyers for MGN said the publisher “unreservedly apologises” to the duke for one instance of unlawful information-gathering and that it accepts he is entitled to “appropriate compensation”.
