government regarding his security arrangements. Separately, Prince Harry alone is suing ANL for libel over an article about his legal battle with the U.K. Lawyers for Harry and the other claimants say the alleged acts took place between 19, but that the behavior continued as late as 2018.ĪNL denies wrongdoing by its journalists and says the cases should be thrown out because of the amount time that has passed. Prince Harry is among several claimants - including pop star Elton John - who is accusing the publisher of the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday tabloids, Associated Newspapers (ANL) of using unlawful methods to gather information about them, including tapping phone calls and impersonating people to obtain medical information. The suit is being heard before a judge, not a jury, and could result in a decision to award damages. He said the group had "not admitted" that the other five articles involved unlawful information gathering, according to the BBC. MGN has previously admitted that phone hacking took place at its tabloids, but its lawyer denied that 28 of the 33 articles involving Harry used unlawfully-gathered information. Morgan has denied any knowledge of such activities. The claimants argue that senior executives including Piers Morgan - who edited the Daily Mirror newspaper from 1995 to 2004 - knew of the illegal activities. It involves 207 newspaper articles published between 19, though only 33 articles relating to Prince Harry will be considered in court. It alleges that journalists working for Mirror Group Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mirror tabloid, gathered information about the prince unlawfully, including by hacking into voicemails. The civil suit that saw Prince Harry take the stand involves cases from Harry and three other well-known British claimants. It was the first time a senior member of Britain's royal family had offered court testimony since the 19th century. Prince Harry testified in June in the same London court as part of a case against the publisher Mirror Group Newspapers, claiming voicemail hacking and other illegal information gathering activities.
