At the High Court in the heart of London, where he will testify in his lawsuit against publisher Mirror Group Newspapers, Prince Harry has just arrived.
According to the BBC, he will be testifying in court for the first time today and will be the first senior member of the Royal Family to do so in modern times.
In a lawsuit against the publisher, Mirror Group Newspapers, Prince Harry and three other defendants claimed that information about them had been improperly collected to support stories.
As part of this illegal gathering, they believe journalists from the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and The People exploited a security gap to access their voicemails and hear messages left by friends and family.
Mirror Group Newspapers has previously admitted phone hacking took place but says it didn’t in these cases.
This is a test case – if Harry and the other claimants win, the judge will use it to set the level of damages (amount of money) MGN could pay in other cases from other celebrities.
