Mirror Group’s lawyers suggest newspaper’s stories about prince were instead leaked by royal press officers
Prince Harry has no evidence he was the victim of phone hacking by Mirror journalists, the high court has heard, with stories about his private life instead secretly leaked by royal press officers., the Sunday Mirror and People were obtained through phone hacking or other illegal behaviour. The articles – published between 1995 and 2011 – detail his relationship with his family, his relationship with ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy, his military service and allegations of drug use.
Instead, the newspaper publisher suggests that its stories about Harry came from confidential sources, friends of the prince and royal press officers. The Mirror’s lawyers claim that the real source of the story was probably King Charles’s former press chief Mark Bolland, who had a strong personal relationship with Morgan “involving regular calls, meals and drinking sessions together”. The newspaper group implies that Harry should blame his father’s aides for intruding upon his privacy rather than journalists.
“No Mirror Group Newspapers journalists were arrested or prosecuted, suggesting that Mirror Group Newspapers was not engaging in voicemail interception of the Duke of Sussex and those around him,” the company said.
