Prince Harry has assured this Wednesday that the press has been “cheating” him all his lifetestifying before the High Court in London in his lawsuit against the group that owns newspapers such as the tabloid Daily Mirror for alleged illegal wiretapping.
“All my life, the press has deceived me, has covered up bad practices, So to be sitting here in court knowing that the defense has the evidence before them and that Mr Green says I’m speculating… I’m not quite sure what to say about this,” said the Duke of Sussex, who has also been questioned by his own lawyer, David Sherborne.
The youngest son of King Carlos III, has faced this Wednesday interrogation hours by the lawyer representing the Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), Andrew Green, who has argued that Enrique do not have any proof that reporters from some of the group’s newspapers had used dubious tactics to get scoops on his life.
After concluding the prince’s historic statement, the trial will continue in the coming days with the testimonials from other plaintiffs, after which the court it will deliver its opinion on a date that has not been specified.
Harry claims items with ‘palace sources’ came from punctures
In this morning’s session, the prince also revealed that some articles published by MGN group newspapers that cited “palace sources” to post stories about his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy, They were the product of illegal wiretapping.
The Duke has alluded to an article published by ‘The People‘ in September 2007 talking about the “seemingly troubled relationship” that the duke had
The article stated that “Prince Harry’s romance with Chelsy Davy is in crisis after a series of bitter rows” and assured that “beautiful Chelsy is furious and deeply disgusted with Enrique after three monumental discussions”.
“I never talked about no detail with people from the palace about my relationship with my girlfriend, so attributing that information to a palace source is incredibly suspicious,” he said.
MGN affirms that Harry moves in the “field of total speculation”
During his hearing, the MGN lawyer has reiterated on several occasions that the Duke moves in the “ground of total speculation” by maintaining that the reporters of those tabloids illegally tapped phones to access private information, something that Harry has strongly denied.
Green has also asked the prince if he was able to identify a single voice message that he knew that it had been illegally intercepted, to which Harry has responded by saying that “there is solid evidence that there is something suspicious” and has added that he believes that “the wiretapping started in the Mirror Group“.
Eavesdropping could have occurred for a period of more than 15 years, according to the duke “It could have happened. I just don’t know. It’s part of the reason I’m here,” he said.
