Prince Harry testified in a London court against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), accusing them of unlawfully gathering information about him over decades. He claimed that intrusive articles published by MGN newspapers, based on phone hacking and other illegal means, significantly impacted his mental health and relationships. Harry alleged that MGN targeted him from a young age, using unlawful information gathering techniques to report on private matters like his relationships, injuries, and family life. He detailed specific instances where he believed MGN reporters used illegal methods to obtain information, including hacking voicemails and using private investigators. He described the severe emotional distress and paranoia caused by the constant media intrusion, stating it made him distrustful of people close to him. He further argued that the relentless scrutiny contributed to the breakdown of several relationships and exacerbated anxieties related to his mother, Princess Diana's, death. The trial is a significant moment for Harry, who has become a vocal critic of the British press. He stated that he sees this as a mission to hold journalists accountable for illegal practices and protect others from similar intrusions. The hearing will focus on 33 specific articles published by MGN, and the judge will determine if these articles were obtained unlawfully. find the original article here: https://www.yahoo.com/news/prince-harry-says-worst-fears-182600102.html
