Harry was defended from online critics of his phone-hacking lawsuit heard in London this week, by a member of his mother's family.

Prince Harry accused former Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan of "horrific personal attacks" toward him and Meghan Markle.

Prince Harry ended his testimony in his trial against a newspaper group. “For my whole life, the press have misled about me and covered up their wrongdoing,” he said.

Prince Harry entered the courtroom on a mission to prove the publisher of the Daily Mirror tabloid hacked his phone and unlawfully snooped.

After the royal’s barrister concluded his cross-examination of Ms Kerr on Thursday, who he alleged had commissioned third-parties to obtain information for stories 900 times while working at the Mirror, Harry’s co-claimant, Coronation Street actor Nikki Sanderson, entered the witness box to testify against the publisher.
