Court appearance in privacy claim should not come as a surprise given prince's loathing for Associated Newspapers.

In a Netflix documentary Harry claimed the stress of Meghan’s privacy action against the Mail on Sunday caused her to miscarry. The royal appeared in no mood to settle. Harry was joined in court by Frost, John, and David Furnish – all of whom are also bringing cases against the Mail’s publisher. He also noted that the Mail later carried a column by Rachel Johnson that referred to Meghan’s “exotic DNA”. He writes that the Mail “took the lead” in the media’s treatment of Meghan. His dislike of the tabloid press in general began when his mother was killed.

Prince is among a group claiming against Associated Newspapers over allegations of unlawful information-gathering.

A four-day preliminary hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London began on Monday and is set to include ANL’s bid for the claims to be dismissed without a trial. The publisher hit back at the allegations, describing them at the time as “preposterous smears” and a “pre-planned and orchestrated attempt to drag the Mail titles into the phone-hacking scandal”. Their lawyers said at that time the group have “become aware of compelling and highly distressing evidence that they have been the victims of abhorrent criminal activity and gross breaches of privacy” by ANL, which is also the publisher of the Mail on Sunday and MailOnline.

In other words, he attended to shine a spotlight on the case. The presence of Prince Harry and Elton John, which was done entirely on their own volition and not legally required, fueled media coverage on Monday, turning the press’ eye on the preliminary hearing. It’s no surprise that Prince Harry would use his celebrity to gin up attention about the lawsuit. It’s unclear whether this case will result in such profound consequence.

Prince Harry “cut off” friends as he tried to find out who was leaking stories to the newspapers, London's High Court has heard.

These “unlawful acts” alleged to have taken place include “the hiring of private investigators to secretly place listening devices inside people’s cars and homes” and “the commissioning of individuals to surreptitiously listen into and record people’s live, private telephone calls whilst they were taking place”. According to a press release, Harry and the other individuals suing the publisher “have become aware of compelling and highly distressing evidence that they have been the victims of abhorrent criminal activity and gross breaches of privacy by Associated Newspapers”. “In particular, suspicion and paranoia was caused by Associated’s publication of the unlawful articles: friends were lost or cut off as a result and everyone became a ‘suspect’, since he was misled by the way that the articles were written into believing that those close to him were the source of this information being provided to Associated’s newspapers.”

We've come to the end of our live coverage of the second day of a hearing into the case brought against the publisher of the Daily Mail by Prince Harry, Sir Elton John and other high-profile claimants. Sadie Frost said she felt "suicidal" after the Daily Mail published a "horrible" story about the breakdown of her marriage to actor Jude Law - using information she believes was obtained through the use of private investigators. Welcome back to our live coverage of the privacy case being brought by Prince Harry, Elton John, Baroness Lawrence and others against the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail On Sunday, Associated Newspapers. After the Daily Mail published a "horrible" story about the breakdown of her marriage to actor Jude Law which she alleges contained details about her which were obtained unlawfully, the actress described how she stopped eating and "felt suicidal". ANL "firmly" denies all allegations against it and is bidding for the case to be dismissed without trial. Ms Frost said the article came at a time when there was "stigma around mental health" and she "did not want the world knowing her private business". In her submission, the mother of murdered Stephen Lawrence spoke of how she thought the Daily Mail had been "on her son's side" and considered a journalist there "an ally and even a friend" in the campaign for his justice. Mr Sherborne, representing the claimants, said the material these aspects of their case rely on is "highly relevant" and said striking it out would be "inappropriate".

Duke of Sussex and other high-profile claimants, including Doreen Lawrence, are making allegations of illegal behaviour by Associated Newspapers.

Second, Associated Newspapers argues that Harry and the other individuals have waited too long to bring the claims. First, it alleges that the claims are largely based on material that was provided in confidence to the Leveson inquiry back in 2011. According to the claimants, they only recently learned they may be victims of illegal information gathering by individuals working for the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. It’s more than a decade since the Guardian reported on the widespread use of phone hacking at the News of the World, leading to the closure of the Sunday tabloid. Prince Harry has joined with Doreen Lawrence and five other high-profile individuals in bringing legal action against Associated Newspapers, the parent company of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. Each of the individuals is making similar but separate allegations of illegal behaviour by Associated Newspapers.

He went on: "There was never any centralised discussion between us about who had brought claims as each office in the Institution is siloed. "He had a former military and British Telecom phone man on his payroll fulltime, who engineered the weekly landline taps on his victims. This man would use cassette recorders and insert them into the landline cables of the green BT junction box cabinets on the street. It hurts me to know that I was played for a fool." "I am claiming for four Unlawful Articles through which The Mail misused the information it stole. Listen to a special Harry edition of the Daily podcast while you scroll through live updates. "Hugh (Grant) and I, and many others, were victims of this and I thought about the time I had asked BT to sweep my lines and they had confirmed everything was fine and I had thought my phone was safe and secure to talk. I felt suicidal." In his witness statement, the royal said the British public deserves to know the full extent of what he calls "cover-ups" at the publisher, and said he feels it his "duty to expose it". Prince Harry says his case against the publisher of the Daily Mail is "not just about" him and is in the "public interest" as he set out why the legal action he has brought is so important to him. "It transpired that landline tapping was Mr Burrows' unique trade selling point and that it was a routine and essential part of the service he offered to The Mail on Sunday from a menu of unwholesome things. "I began to shut down.

The Duke of Sussex appeared in court for the second day today as he pursues his case against the Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers.

The prince is among a group of claimants, including Sir Elton John, Liz Hurley and Sadie Frost, against Associated Newspapers accusing them of numerous breaches of privacy. The prince added: "The Institution made it clear that we did not need to know anything about phone hacking and it was made clear to me that the Royal Family did not sit in the witness box because that could open up a can of worms." Prince Harry has said the Royal Family withheld information from him about phone hacking because they didn't want him to bring a claim as it would "open a can of worms".
