In most legal disputes, no matter how high the stakes or fevered the public interest, a common thread prevails: it is the lawyers who win. So when Prince Harry gives evidence (a day late), the hardest question he ought to have answered was “What’s the end game?”
Clearly, the Duke believes he has scores to settle against the media, in this case Mirror Group Newspapers. His barrister yesterday suggested Harry was subjected to unlawful information-gathering “right from when he was a young boy at school” and that “nothing was sacrosanct.” But his litigiousness is a gamble.
