Royal family member is being cross-examined for second day over tabloid phone-hacking claims against Daily Mirror publisher

Prince Harry: The unravelling of a sad tale about a man driven to despair by his hatred of the media“You have had to go through these articles and answer questions knowing this is a very public courtroom and the world’s media are watching. How has that made you feel?”After a few additional questions from the judge, Harry let out a deep sigh before he sat down among his legal team as he left the witness box of Court 15 at about 2.30pm.

During his evidence, Harry repeatedly denied suggestions by Andrew Green KC, for MGN, that he had engaged in “total speculation” in his allegations of unlawful information gathering by the publisher. In his written evidence, the duke said the alleged hacking of his phone “presented very real security concerns for not only me but also everyone around me”.Harry replied: “No, I believe they would have gone to extreme lengths to cover their tracks.”

He continued: “To have a decision against me and any of the other people , given that Mirror Group have admitted hacking, yes I would feel some injustice ... if it wasn’t accepted.”Harry replied: “No one wants to have been phone hacked.”
