""My social circles were not leaky," he declared in the third and final round of his battle against the British tabloids. His curt replies during cross-examination and efforts to explain what it's like living under what he called "24-hour surveillance" eventually brought the intervention of the judge, who told him not to argue with the defense lawyer. "You don't have to bear the burden of arguing the case today," Justice Matthew Nicklin told the frustrated prince."
"Harry and six other prominent figures, including Elton John and actor Elizabeth Hurley, allege that Associated Newspapers Ltd. invaded their privacy by engaging in a "clear, systematic and sustained use of unlawful information gathering" for two decades, attorney David Sherborne said. Associated Newspapers Ltd. has denied the allegations, called them preposterous and said the roughly 50 articles in question were reported with legitimate sources that included close associates willing to inform on their famous friends."
"Harry said in his 23-page witness statement that he was distressed and disturbed by the intrusion into his early life by the Mail and its sister publication the Mail on Sunday, and it made him "paranoid beyond belief." Under the English civil court system, witnesses present written testimony, and after asserting that it's the truth are immediately put under cross examination. Harry, dressed in a dark suit, held a small Bible in"
Prince Harry testified combatively in a lawsuit accusing Associated Newspapers Ltd. of invading his privacy through unlawful information gathering. He denied being close to journalists or that friends leaked information, saying, 'My social circles were not leaky,' and described living under '24-hour surveillance.' The judge cautioned him not to argue with the defense counsel. Harry and six other figures, including Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley, accuse the publisher of a 'clear, systematic and sustained use of unlawful information gathering' over two decades. Associated Newspapers denied the claims and said the articles relied on legitimate sources. Harry said the intrusions left him 'paranoid beyond belief.'
