Prince Harry and Others Begin Privacy Lawsuit Against Daily Mail Publisher

Prince Harry, Elton John, and five others have initiated a nine-week trial in London’s High Court against Associated Newspapers Limited, publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. They allege unlawful information gathering from 1993 to 2011, including phone hacking, voicemail interception, and deceptive acquisition of private data by private investigators. Associated denies these claims, calling them preposterous. The case marks the final legal challenge by Harry against UK tabloids, with testimony expected from key claimants and senior journalists implicated.
