London, Thanasis Gavos

The deposition was completed in the early afternoon of Prince Harry at the High Court in London in the case of a claim against the MGN group which publishes the Daily Mail for wiretapping.

For a total of ten hours on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 38-year-old Duke of Sussex answered the questions of the lawyer of the publishing group Andrew Green, but also the examination of his own lawyer David Sherborne.

Prince Harry was invited to explain about each one of the 33 publications that concern the court, from 1996 to 2010, the points it identifies as the product of wiretapping.

Defense counsel commented that the claimant ultimately had no evidence of his allegations, with Mr Sherborne however then allowing his client to say he had seen payment invoices from the Mirror to private investigators involved in wiretapping .

Prince Harry even revealed that on a trip with then-girlfriend Chelsea Davy in South Africa, he had spotted a tracking device in her car. He directly blamed the private detective Mike Burr who was working with journalists for placing the device.

The Duke of Sussex spoke several times for “incredibly suspicious” publications with personal details that alienated him from his environment, and for constant indiscretions from tabloid newspapers towards his personal life.

For the rest of the afternoon, the Mirror’s royal affairs editor Jane Kerr sat on the witness stand, signing ten of the 33 articles in question.

Prince Harry’s lawyer initially asked her very pointed questions about her relationship with private investigators and the information they provided her.
