"The messages were disclosed to London's High Court as part of the British Duke's privacy claim against Associated Newspapers Limited, publisher of the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday."
"The newly released messages appeared to show the Duke had previously struck up a friendship with the Mail on Sunday's former diary editor."
"When the Duke gave evidence, he said he had 'no idea' whether she moved in his social circles and insisted he had only met Ms Griffiths once."
"But the string of Facebook messages, seen in full for the first time, appear to suggest a slightly different story."
Prince Harry's messages to Charlotte Griffiths, a Mail on Sunday reporter, revealed a friendship contrary to his court statements. He had claimed to have met her only once and cut off contact upon learning she was a journalist. However, messages showed he had previously communicated with her on Facebook and exchanged mobile numbers. Griffiths testified about their social circles and interactions, including attending a party together. The trial concluded with closing submissions, and a ruling is pending from Mr. Justice Nicklin.
