Katie Nicholl

Katie Nicholl is a former diary editor and royal editor at the Mail on Sunday. She is currently newsworthy due to allegations made in court that she commissioned the illegal acquisition of sensitive medical information about actress Sadie Frost. This information, it is alleged, was obtained through "blagging" by a private investigator and contained details Frost had not even shared with her mother. The allegations surfaced during Prince Harry's lawsuit against Associated Newspapers Ltd, publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, where he claims unlawful information-gathering was used to secure articles about him. Nicholl's alleged involvement highlights the broader accusations of unethical and illegal practices within the British press, and the legal battles are bringing these practices to light.
