Daily Mail publisher targeted William and Kate, Harry's lawyers tell court
Prince Harry and six others, including Elton John, sue Daily Mail publisher over alleged unlawful privacy breaches spanning 30 years, with new evidence showing targeting of William and Kate.
- On October 2, 2025, Prince Harry and six others sued Associated Newspapers Limited at London's High Court over alleged privacy breaches spanning 30 years, including claimants Elton John and David Furnish.
- The lawsuits allege a range of unlawful newsgathering practices, accusing Associated Newspapers Limited of voicemail hacking, burglary, blagging, bugging cars and obtaining medical records by deception linked to a phone‑hacking scandal nearly 20 years ago.
- New court documents show invoices and investigator spreadsheets that reference Prince William's August 25, 2003 birthday and mobile-phone data linked to Catherine Middleton, listing 10 family contacts including Kate.
- Associated Newspapers Limited denied wrongdoing as 'lurid' and 'simply preposterous' and asked the court to strike broad claims while Mr Justice Matthew Nicklin warned about late changes before the trial scheduled to begin in January.
- Having previously settled claims, the case involving William and Catherine risks escalating tensions and keeps press accountability under scrutiny, with a trial due next year.
