I’m in a packed court 15 of the High Court where Prince Harry is waiting to enter witness box in case against Mirror Group Newspapers over alleged unlawful information gathering. Lawyer Jenny Afia who represented Meghan & was in couple’s Netflix doco is also in court #Princeharry
Andrew Green KC opens by saying MGN “unreservedly apologises” to Prince Harry for the one offence they admit to. But he’s quick to switch to robust questioning. Green: “Would it be right to say you have long standing hostility towards the press?”. Prince Harry: “Yes that’s right”
Prince Harry is measured and very softly spoken despite quite challenging questions from Andrew Green who is currently dissecting his witness statement. Prince Harry’s responses are short & polite. He simply says “That’s incorrect Mr Green” when the pair disagree.
Prince Harry lightens the mood as he is asked to pull out multiple bundles of documents involved in this complicated case by Green. Harry obliges and says “You’ve got me doing a workout”. He smiles. He’s been in the witness box answering questions for 50 minutes now.
Court breaks for 10 minutes. Harry leaves court room to stretch his legs. Legal team adjust Harry’s microphone on the desk he is sat at as many journalists are struggling to hear him.
Court resumes and David Sherborne says press have asked for Prince Harry to “raise his voice”. Andrew Green KC responds “I hope not raise his anger”. Muffled laughter in court.
