Daily Mail ‘tracked my every move, thought or feeling’, Prince Harry claims
Prince Harry arrives at High Court ahead of Daily Mail legal battle
Prince Harry claims unlawful information gathering by the Daily Mail publisher caused him "profound distress" and made him "paranoid beyond belief", impacting his personal relationships.
He is among several high-profile figures, including Sir Elton John and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, suing Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) over alleged privacy breaches.
The group alleges ANL engaged in "clear, systematic and sustained" unlawful activities for at least two decades, such as hiring private investigators and accessing private records.
Their lawyer, David Sherborne, told the High Court that ANL "knew they had skeletons in their closet" regarding these alleged practices.
The nine-week High Court trial will see Prince Harry testify, while ANL, publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, strongly denies the allegations.
