Prince Harry's court case raises awkward questions, writes Royal Correspondent seanjcoughlan
This is only one in a series of legal claims being brought by Prince Harry against newspaper groupsThe court documents revealed by the Duke of Sussex's latest phone-hacking claim against the tabloid press have sent out a volley of unanswered questions.
But that is very much not the intention, according to sources close to Prince Harry, who is said to be following events in the High Court in London by video link from the US. Prince Harry says he was "kept out of the loop" about this, not least because it "would have infuriated me and I would have insisted that I be allowed to take action, especially given my extremely difficult relationship with the press at that time".
The newspaper group also suggests Prince Harry must have known about reports of hacking at a much earlier stage, having been at the "epicentre" of the story, and they argue he could have acted sooner.But Prince Harry's version of events, and his assertions that his father the King discouraged his legal action, raise wider questions about the press and the Royal Family.
