Prince Harry reveals real reason behind lawsuit

Harry is currently in court giving evidence for a lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers. The Duke of Sussex is accusing them of hacking his phone, gaining information by deception, and use of private investigators for unlawful activities.

He claims he has been hacked on a daily basis for the last 15 years.

Harry has become the first senior royal to give evidence in court for 132 years. Today, the High Court heard the real reason why Harry launched the lawsuit in the first place.

“Is it right to say that when you first went to solicitors, you were discussing a claim against News Group?” Harry was asked today. ]

“I think it was a discussion about how to find a way to stop the abuse and intrusion that was coming against me and my wife…without relying on the institution’s lawyers,” Harry then replied.

Journalist admits to having ‘chased’ Princess Diana

Meanwhile, on today’s edition of Good Morning Britain, a journalist admitted to having written stories about Harry after listening to his phone calls.

Today’s edition of GMB saw Susanna Reid and Ed Balls speak to former deputy featured editor of the News of the World, Paul McMullan.

When asked by Susanna whether he feels “guilt” or “shame” over his actions, Paul said: “Well, not really because we did much worse to his dad. And his dad just dismissed it as ‘annoying newspaper people’ and, you know, got over it.”

Paul then later said that he “chased his mother [Diana] a lot.” Susanna then asked: “Chased, as in…?” Paul replied saying: “Well, chased her round the world for about five years.”

Paul then confessed to having been in car chases in Paris with French paparazzi. “It’s terrifying and exhilarating,” he said.
