Closing summary
The litigation against Mirror Group Newspapers has concluded for the day with Prince Harry finishing his evidence and former royal editor for the Mirror, Jane Kerr, starting hers.
The Duke of Sussex fought back tears late in the session as his barrister David Sherborne reflected on the damage caused by press intrusion.
Here’s a round up of the day’s key events:
Harry told the court he would feel “some injustice” if his claim against MGN is unsuccessful. He says phone hacking has been done on an “industrial scale” across at least three of the papers – and says any decision with his claim, he would “feel some injustice if it wasn’t accepted”.
The Mirror Group, represented by Andrew Green, said there was not a single item of evidence to show phone hacking.
Harry says it was “hurtful” to read stories that appeared gleeful about his break up with Chelsy Davy.
Harry told the court he believes articles about his relationship with Caroline Flack, the late television presenter, were obtained by phone hacking.
Harry denied his claims were in the “realms of speculation” as the Mirror barrister alleges, adding the Mirror has evidence of illegal information gathering, such as invoices for private investigators, in front of it.
Harry’s barrister read an email from Mirror journalist Katie Hind which describes how to hack phones.
The prince told the court that he once found a “tracking device” on a car belonging to Chelsy Davy, his ex-girlfriend.
The court heard Mirror journalist Jane Kerr attempted to get out of giving evidence last week, only to be forced to attend the trial by the judge.
In her witness statement, Kerr said she did not know how a private investigator obtained phone numbers “and never asked how”. She has denied obtaining information unlawfully.

The judge, Mr Justice Fancourt, has warned Jane Kerr to not discuss her evidence with anyone before returning to court.
