Elton John

Elton John is one of several high-profile figures, including Prince Harry and Elizabeth Hurley, involved in a legal battle against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. He and the other claimants allege that ANL engaged in unlawful information gathering tactics, including phone hacking and other privacy breaches, to obtain stories about them. This legal action is currently in the news as the trial has commenced in London's High Court. Prince Harry has already given evidence, and other claimants are expected to do so as well. The case is significant as it represents a challenge to the practices of British tabloids and their alleged use of illegal methods to gather news, raising questions about journalistic ethics and privacy rights.
