Prince Harry is giving evidence in his High Court claim against the publisher of the Daily Mirror over alleged unlawful information gathering.

Harry, 38, is suing MGN for damages, claiming journalists at its titles – which also include the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People – were linked to methods including phone hacking, so-called “blagging” or gaining information by deception, and use of private investigators for unlawful activities.

Harry has taken his seat in the witness box of court 15 of the Rolls Building to resume giving evidence.

Barrister Andrew Green KC, representing MGN, will continue to cross-examine the duke.

Harry alleges that about 140 articles published between 1996 and 2010 by MGN titles contained information gathered using unlawful methods, and 33 of these have been selected to be considered at the trial.

Yesterday, the duke faced nearly five hours of questions from a barrister for MGN as he became the first senior royal in more than two decades to appear personally in court proceedings.

He is due to be questioned further in about five minutes, with his evidence expected to be concluded by 1pm – though it may take longer.
