Duke turns up for Daily Mail case

THE Duke of Sussex has told a court it is “disturbing to feel that my every move, thought or feeling was being tracked” so the publisher of the Daily Mail could “make money out of it”.

Harry, Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish, campaigner Baroness Doreen Lawrence, politician Sir Simon Hughes, and actresses Sadie Frost and Liz Hurley all allege Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) had a practice of “clear systematic and sustained use of unlawful information gathering”.

Lawyers acting on behalf of the claimants said ANL “knew they had skeletons in their closet” when they emphatically denied all claims of unlawful practices.

In written submissions on behalf of the duke, barrister David Sherborne said ANL’s methods of information-gathering left him “paranoid beyond belief” and created a “massive strain” on personal relationships.
