Prince Harry has arrived at the Royal Courts of Justice ahead of a hearing over allegations against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL).
The Daily Mail publisher is facing claims against it brought by the Duke of Essex, Sir Elton Jon, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, and others over unlawful information-gathering at its titles. The group of high profile individuals, including access Liz Hurley and Sadie Frost, announced in October that they wold bring claims for misuse of private information against ANL.
Their lawyers stated at the time that the group alleged they have "become aware of compelling and highly distressing evidence that they have been the victims of abhorrent criminal activity and gross breaches of privacy" by ANL. Some of the allegations include hiring private investigators to secretly place listening devices inside cars and homes as well as recording private phone conversations.
