Prince Harry accused of ‘highly publicised smearing’ in phone hacking trial

Lawyers for the Mirror newspaper group accused Prince Harry and three other claimants of engaging in a “highly publicised smearing” of its former board at the High Court in London on Friday.

The court is hearing a high-profile lawsuit brought by the prince and three others alleging that Mirror Group Newspapers unlawfully gathered information at its three titles for almost 20 years — between 1991 and 2011 — including through phone hacking and use of private investigators.
