Actor Sadie Frost testified in the High Court, alleging that Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), publisher of the Daily Mail, unlawfully gathered private information about her, leading to intrusive articles. Frost is one of seven individuals, including Prince Harry, Elton John, and Doreen Lawrence, suing ANL for unlawful information gathering. Frost detailed the distress caused by 11 articles published between 2000 and 2010, believing the information, including details of a 2003 ectopic pregnancy, could not have been obtained legitimately. Her legal team presented an email from convicted phone hacker Greg Miskiw indicating the Daily Mail's interest in stories about Frost, including her son's medical information. Frost stated she felt a "price put on my head" by the Daily Mail. ANL denies the allegations.
