Duke of Sussex finishes giving evidence at high court in case against Mirror Group Newspapers
Prince Harry’s appeared to fight back tears as he finished giving evidence in the phone-hacking trial at the high court, saying there was “hard evidence” that he had been illegally targeted by Mirror Group Newspapers.
The prince spent eight hours in the witness box across two days, breaking with protocol as he became the first royal to be cross-examined in a court since 1891. He told the court that British newspapers had illegally targeted him all his life and then gone to “extreme lengths to cover their tracks”.
