Prince Harry is set to begin giving evidence Wednesday in a London court in his privacy invasion case against the Daily Mail and its sister Sunday newspaper.
Tens of millions of dollars are on the line in the case in which Harry, who is also known as the Duke of Sussex, is joined by Elton John, actors Elizabeth Hurley and Sadie Frost, and others who claim the publisher of the Mail hired private investigators to bug their cars, obtain their personal records and eavesdrop on phone calls.
It’s the final round in Harry’ battle with the British tabloids with his lawyer alleging that the papers engaged in a “clear, systematic and sustained use of unlawful information gathering” for two decades.
Associated Newspapers Ltd. has denied the allegations, saying the articles in question were reported with legitimate sources that included “leaky” associates willing to dish dirt on their famous friends.
Harry had been set to give evidence on Thursday, but opening submissions for concluded earlier than expected on Tuesday.
The prince is expected to give evidence at around 11.30 a.m.
