Prince Harry, along with Elton John, Liz Hurley, and others, are beginning a trial against Associated Newspapers in London's High Court on Monday. The group accuses the publisher of The Daily Mail of unlawful information gathering between 1997 and 2015, including phone hacking and using private investigators to obtain private information. Prince Harry is scheduled to testify on Thursday. Associated Newspapers denies all accusations, claiming its journalists did not commission or obtain information illegally and will challenge the credibility of some witnesses. The trial is expected to last over two months.
