The Duke of Sussex’s and others claims against the Daily Mail’s publisher over allegations of unlawful information gathering “should never have been brought to trial”, editor Paul Dacre has said.
A group of household names, also including Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Sir Elton John and David Furnish, alleged acts including voicemail interception, landline tapping and obtaining information by deception, also known as “blagging”, were carried out by private investigators, freelance journalists and staff at Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL).
