In a remarkable court scene, the prince took the stand for five hours to make his case that his phone was hacked by a newspaper group, as a lawyer for the defense grilled him about his claims.

Prince Harry took the stand in a case against the British tabloid newspaper “Daily Mirror” and more on June 6. He said journalists have “blood on their hands.”

It was Harry’s first day testifying in the lawsuit he and three other claimants have brought in London against the Mirror newspaper group, which he has accused of long waging war on his family’s privacy, even hacking his personal phone. His testimony is to continue on Wednesday. Here are the highlights from Day 1.

Prince Harry appeared in a United Kingdom courtroom Tuesday, offering testimony against a tabloid publisher he accused of hacking his phone and playing a "destructive role" in his early life.

As part of his mission to rein in the tabloid media, Harry is testifying and being cross-examined over at least two days in his suit against the Daily Mirror.

Harry made the accusations as he became the first high-ranking member of the British royal family to appear as a witness in court in 130 years.
