Prince Harry denies claim ‘leaky social circle’ fed stories to journalists

AI Summary

medium article 4 min

Prince Harry testified in the High Court against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), denying claims that his social circle leaked stories to the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. He alleged that ANL journalists obtained information through unlawful means, including voicemail hacking and phone tapping, rather than from his friends. Harry stated that he was prevented from complaining about the stories earlier due to his position within the royal family. He is one of seven high-profile figures, including Elton John and Doreen Lawrence, accusing ANL of using illegal information-gathering techniques. Harry claims ANL had an "obsession" with surveilling him, aiming to drive him to paranoia and isolation for the sake of selling newspapers. He seeks to hold Associated Newspapers accountable for their alleged actions.
