In a London courtroom, Prince Harry testified for over seven hours in a case against Mirror Group Newspapers for intercepting his voicemail messages and gathering information about his private life. Although the prince could not provide concrete evidence of phone-hacking, he accused the tabloids of using illegal methods for reporting on deeply personal events in his life. He argued that he took legal action against the newspaper group to stop the abuse and intrusion towards him and his wife, Meghan. Prince Harry also suggested that his legal pursuit of the tabloids was part of a broader split with the royal family, which he accused of accommodating the media instead of calling out their excesses. The verdict on whether Mirror Group journalists unlawfully targeted the royal in their articles is expected later this month.
