He Prince Harry stated on Wednesday that He has been “deceived” by the press all his life. The Duke of Sussex’s statements came in the middle of the second day of arguments in London’s High Court for his lawsuit against the group that owns the Daily Mirror newspaper for allegedly illegal wiretapping.
The Duke of Sussex today faced, for the second consecutive day, hours of questioning by the lawyer representing the Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), Andrew Greenwho argued that Harry had no evidence that reporters from any of the group’s newspapers had used dubious tactics to get exclusives on his life.
“All my life I’ve been misled by the press, covered up wrongdoing, so to sit here in court knowing that the defense has the evidence before them and Mr Green says I’m speculating…I’m not quite sure what say about this”affirmed the youngest son of King Carlos III, who was also questioned by his own lawyer, David Sherborne.
At the hearing, MGN’s lawyer reiterated on several occasions that the duke moved in the “field of total speculation” by maintaining that the reporters of those tabloids illegally tapped phones to access private information, something that Enrique flatly denied.
Green also asked him if he was able to identify a single voicemail that he knew had been illegally intercepted, to which the prince replied that “there is strong evidence that (there is) something suspicious” and added that he believed that ” the punctures started in the Mirror Group”.
Eavesdropping could even have occurred over a period of more than 15 years, according to Harry: “It could have happened. I just do not know. It’s part of the reason I’m here,” he noted.
The way Prince Harry discovered the wiretaps
At this morning’s sitting, the Duke of Sussex also revealed that some articles spread by MGN group newspapers that cited “palace sources” to publish stories about his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy were product of eavesdropping.
The duke alluded to an article published by “The People” in September 2007 that spoke of the “apparently problematic relationship” that the duke had with the South African.
That article indicated that “the prince’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 arguments”.
“I never discussed any details with palace people about my relationship with my girlfriend, so attributing such information to a palace source is incredibly suspicious.”noticed.
After concluding the prince’s historic statement, the trial will continue in the coming days with the testimonies of other plaintiffs, after which the court will pronounce its opinion, on an as yet unspecified date, recorded EFE.
