Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Prince Harry Makes History With UK Phone Hacking Testimony” – below is their description.
Prince Harry testified in a London court that his life has been blighted by intrusion from Britain’s tabloid press, marking the first time in more than 130 years that a member of the royal family has given evidence at trial.
The prince, who has consistently refused to settle long standing hacking claims where others have, appeared at the High Court in a highly anticipated civil lawsuit against MGN Ltd., the publishers of tabloid newspapers the Daily Mirror, the Sunday Mirror and The Sunday People.
“As a child every single one of these article played a disruptive role in my growing up,” Prince Harry said on Tuesday. “I’ve experienced hostility by the press since I was born.”
A handful of historic phone-hacking cases are making their way back through London’s courts, stirring up old battles that took place nearly a decade ago and led to criminal convictions and wide-ranging recommendations for British media reform.
