They allege they have been victims of "abhorrent criminal activity" and "gross breaches of privacy" by Associated Newspapers - and announced in October they were bringing claims for misuse of private information against ANL, also the publisher of The Mail On Sunday and MailOnline.

The Duke, Sir Elton John, and Sadie Frost have turned up to the High Court where they are suing over allegations of unlawful newsgathering dating back to ...

The Daily Mail and its linked titles has consistently denied unlawful activity by its staff since the phone hacking scandal broke more than a decade ago. A spokesperson for ANL also said the allegations were “unsubstantiated and highly defamatory claims, based on no credible evidence”. “The claimants each claim that in different ways they were the victim of numerous unlawful acts carried out by the defendant, or by those acting on the instructions of its newspapers, The Daily Mail and The Mail On Sunday”, said Mr Sherborne. Lawyers for ANL point out Prince Harry, according to his memoir Spare, had a “keen interest in the prosecution of journalists from the News of the World”, and had said he was “overjoyed” when News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks was arrested. In her submissions to the court, Baroness Lawrence says she “became deeply paranoid by the strange things happening around her, and by the unexplained disclosure of her private information as well as information relating to Stephen’s murder investigation in the Daily Mail”. In written legal submissions, it is revealed Harry says he suffered “suspicion and paranoia…caused by Associated’s publication of the unlawful articles - friends were lost or cut off as a result and everyone became a ‘suspect’, since he was misled by the way that the articles were written into believing that those close to him were the source of this information being provided to Associated’s newspapers.”

Daily Mail publisher trying to get case over alleged unlawful activity dismissed.

A press that represents truth, is sourced in fact and can be trusted to operate ethically and in the interests of the British public,” a statement released at the time read. They are united in their desire to live in a world where the press operates freely, yet responsibly. While there have been a number of damages claims over unlawful activity at newspapers in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal, most of which have settled, this is the first claim to be brought against ANL. News Group Newspapers (NGN) has settled claims relating to the now-defunct News Of The World, while never admitting any liability over claims made in relation to The Sun. A four-day preliminary hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London is due to begin at 10.30am on Monday, which is set to include ANL’s bid for the claims to be dismissed without a trial. Their lawyers said at that time the group 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, which is also the publisher of The Mail On Sunday and MailOnline.

Prince Harry has drawn his brother Prince William into his legal war with the media and says he was “horrified” to discover they had been illegally targeted ...

The newspaper publisher – which denies all wrongdoing – insists that material was handed over to assist the inquiry, and is subject to strict restrictions on how it can be otherwise used. According to court documents, Sir Elton says his medical information was unlawfully obtained and he claims the Mail on Sunday got hold of details of a party being planned by Prince Harry and Prince William to follow a memorial concert for “The Unlawful Acts were carried out on Associated’s behalf by a large number of different private investigators, many of whom are now well-known for carrying out the same unlawful activities for other newspaper groups such as News Group Newspapers and Mirror Group Newspapers”, the legal documents continue. Harry says he was “shocked and appalled” to learn of unlawful activities at ANL, adding that he is “concerned and upset by the fact that despite its stated values of representing the interests of British people, characterising itself as a beacon of truth and integrity, in fact it was committing these insidious and illegal Acts, and even lying and continuing to cover up the same so that they would not be publicly exposed.” In his statement of claim, Harry says Mulcaire – through former News of the World executive Greg Miskiw – provided “unlawfully or illegally obtained information” and offered a “menu of illegal services” to an employee of the Mail on Sunday. “Mr Mulcaire and Mr Miskiw targeted a number of individuals who they knew were of considerable interest and value to the Mail on Sunday, routinely monitoring and carrying out unlawful acts in relation to them for potential stories.

Court appearance in privacy claim should not come as a surprise given prince's loathing for Associated Newspapers.

Harry was joined in court by Frost, John, and David Furnish – all of whom are also bringing cases against the Mail’s publisher. He also noted that the Mail later carried a column by Rachel Johnson that referred to Meghan’s “exotic DNA”. He writes that the Mail “took the lead” in the media’s treatment of Meghan. His dislike of the tabloid press in general began when his mother was killed.

Duke 'deprived of important aspects of his teenage years' by newspaper publisher, lawyer says.

He said she feels a “deep sense of betrayal” that her son’s racially motivated murder was “exploited” by the publisher to “generate ‘exclusive’ headlines, sell newspapers and to profit”, and that she now wonders whether trusting the Daily Mail over its “entirely false” support for her fight for justice had caused her to “fail” her son. Documents filed on behalf of Sir Elton and his husband David Furnish claim that the landline phone of their Windsor home was “tapped by private investigators acting on the instruction of Associated”. His lawyers claim he was “deprived of important aspects of his teenage years” by the “unlawful actions” of Associated Newspapers.

Prince Harry is among other big names suing the publisher of the Daily Mail accused of phone-tapping and privacy violations.

He said the lawsuits are a campaign for "accountability." The lawsuit claims the publisher of the Daily Mail committed unlawful acts to gather information techniques over the course of years. Prince Harry alleges that he lost friends, citing "paranoia" over the "unlawful" stories that ANL newspapers published.

In other words, he attended to shine a spotlight on the case. The presence of Prince Harry and Elton John, which was done entirely on their own volition and not legally required, fueled media coverage on Monday, turning the press’ eye on the preliminary hearing. It’s no surprise that Prince Harry would use his celebrity to gin up attention about the lawsuit. It’s unclear whether this case will result in such profound consequence. To be clear, Associated Newspapers has strongly denied the claims against it. The lawsuit, which was filed last year, alleges that Associated Newspapers was responsible for “abhorrent criminal activity and gross breaches of privacy” in its efforts to obtain dirt on celebrities.

Duke of Sussex makes surprise court appearance with fellow claimants Elton John and Sadie Frost.

In 2021 Prince Harry accepted an apology and damages from the paper over its claims that he had “turned his back” on the Royal Marines, while his wife, Meghan Markle, won a privacy case against the publisher in the same year for printing a letter she had written to her estranged father, Thomas Markle. They were also joined by Elton John, who made a brief appearance yesterday – ensuring the public gallery will be packed for the remainder of the hearing. Fellow actress Sadie Frost claims ANL used covert methods to get hold of information about her relationship and divorce from actor Jude Law, as well as their children, said Sky News. By coming to court, Harry is positioning himself as the poster boy of privacy cases,” she said. [Sky News](https://news.sky.com/story/prince-harry-v-daily-mail-publisher-private-investigator-statement-released-latest-12843334)’s royal correspondent Laura Bundock said Prince Harry’s “unexpected arrival at London’s High Court guaranteed all lenses were on him. According to David Sherborne, barrister for the group of claimants, they all claim to be victims of “numerous unlawful acts” carried out by ANL or by those acting on the instructions of its newspapers, the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday.

Duke of Sussex and other high-profile claimants, including Doreen Lawrence, are making allegations of illegal behaviour by Associated Newspapers.

Second, Associated Newspapers argues that Harry and the other individuals have waited too long to bring the claims. First, it alleges that the claims are largely based on material that was provided in confidence to the Leveson inquiry back in 2011. According to the claimants, they only recently learned they may be victims of illegal information gathering by individuals working for the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. It’s more than a decade since the Guardian reported on the widespread use of phone hacking at the News of the World, leading to the closure of the Sunday tabloid. Prince Harry has joined with Doreen Lawrence and five other high-profile individuals in bringing legal action against Associated Newspapers, the parent company of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. Each of the individuals is making similar but separate allegations of illegal behaviour by Associated Newspapers.

He went on: "There was never any centralised discussion between us about who had brought claims as each office in the Institution is siloed. "He had a former military and British Telecom phone man on his payroll fulltime, who engineered the weekly landline taps on his victims. This man would use cassette recorders and insert them into the landline cables of the green BT junction box cabinets on the street. It hurts me to know that I was played for a fool." "I am claiming for four Unlawful Articles through which The Mail misused the information it stole. Listen to a special Harry edition of the Daily podcast while you scroll through live updates. "Hugh (Grant) and I, and many others, were victims of this and I thought about the time I had asked BT to sweep my lines and they had confirmed everything was fine and I had thought my phone was safe and secure to talk. I felt suicidal." In his witness statement, the royal said the British public deserves to know the full extent of what he calls "cover-ups" at the publisher, and said he feels it his "duty to expose it". Prince Harry says his case against the publisher of the Daily Mail is "not just about" him and is in the "public interest" as he set out why the legal action he has brought is so important to him. "It transpired that landline tapping was Mr Burrows' unique trade selling point and that it was a routine and essential part of the service he offered to The Mail on Sunday from a menu of unwholesome things. "I began to shut down.

The Duke of Sussex appeared in court for the second day today as he pursues his case against the Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers.

The prince is among a group of claimants, including Sir Elton John, Liz Hurley and Sadie Frost, against Associated Newspapers accusing them of numerous breaches of privacy. The prince added: "The Institution made it clear that we did not need to know anything about phone hacking and it was made clear to me that the Royal Family did not sit in the witness box because that could open up a can of worms." Prince Harry has said the Royal Family withheld information from him about phone hacking because they didn't want him to bring a claim as it would "open a can of worms".

But discussing phone hacking claims against News Group Newspapers, Harry said “I became aware that I had a claim that I could bring” in 2018. He added: “The ...

Sometimes he also put them in manholes,” Ms Hurley said. She also claimed corrupt payments had been made to police officers. “Hugh [Grant] and I, and many others, were victims of this and I thought about the time I had asked BT to sweep my lines and they had confirmed everything was fine and I had thought my phone was safe and secure to talk.” She added: “I am haunted by the fact that I will never know the truth of what happened to Stephen the night he was killed, or of the failed police investigations into his murder, and now the illegal invasions and spying and stealing of information about his death and about me by The Mail.” “The institution made it clear that we did not need to know anything about phone hacking and it was made clear to me that the royal family did not sit in the witness box because that could open up a can of worms,” the Duke said in his statement. Doreen Lawrence also provided a witness statement where she said she was “played by a fool” by the Daily Mail and believed the publication was “on my son’s side and cared about the fight to bring his killers to justice”.

Harry says they didn't want him to bring a claim as it would "open a can of worms".

Adrian Beltrami KC, for the publisher, argued in written submissions the legal actions have been brought too late and that the cases were "largely inferential". The Institution was without a doubt withholding information from me for a long time about NGN's phone hacking and that has only become clear in recent years as I have pursued my own claim with different legal advice and representation." Prince Harry has claimed "without doubt" members of the Royal Family witheld information from him about phone hacking.
