Prince Harry is among a group of claimants including Sir Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley and Sadie Frost, accusing the publisher of breaches of privacy including phone-tapping and bugging people's homes.
Lawyers for the claimants have said they had become aware of"highly distressing" evidence revealing they had been victims of"abhorrent criminal activity" and"gross breaches of privacy" by Associated Newspapers.• The hiring of private investigators to secretly place listening devices inside people's cars and homes
• The impersonation of individuals to obtain medical information from private hospitals, clinics, and treatment centres by deception Initially intended to be carried out in two sections, the first part of the Leveson Inquiry looked at the culture, practices and ethics of the press. It involved celebrities including Hugh Grant, Sienna Miller, Steve Coogan and Charlotte Church.
The counsel for Associated Newspapers at the time, Jonathan Caplan, told the inquiry that"so far as [Associated] is aware no journalist at Associated Newspapers has engaged in phone-hacking. Other celebrities involved in the case include former Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl, actor Ricky Tomlinson, ex-footballer and TV presenter Ian Wright and the estate of the late singer George Michael. MGN has contested the claims and argues that some have been brought too late.
He has also said that media intrusion was part of the reason he and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and moved to America.
