Prince Harry tells High Court judge he is not aware of ANY evidence he had been hacked by the Mirror news group - but insists it would be an 'injustice' if was denied victory in this case
Prince Harry, during his testimony in his High Court phone-hacking case against the publisher of the Mirror, admitted that he was not aware of any evidence that indicated he had been hacked by a tabloid news group. However, he argued that it would be an injustice if he was denied victory in the case. Andrew Green KC, representing Mirror Group Newspapers, challenged Harry by stating that there were no phone call records to support his allegations. Harry responded by claiming that the newspaper had destroyed significant amounts of evidence, including through the use of "burner phones," to cover up their wrongdoing.

Harry asserted that he may have been subjected to phone-hacking on a daily basis over a period of 15 years, starting from his time as a student at Eton. He claimed that there was hard evidence suggesting a high level of suspicion and industrial-scale hacking. He specifically mentioned stories about his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy, stating that they were incredibly suspicious because they quoted "palace sources" when he and Davy had been cautious about not sharing any information with the Palace. Harry accused the newspaper of using the attribution "palace sources" to mask the true source of the information, which he believed to be phone hacking.
Harry also disputed several claims made in Mirror articles, pointing out inaccuracies and stating that some stories were factually incorrect. He mentioned an article about his visit to a strip club, which he said falsely claimed that one of the girls asked to dance naked bore a resemblance to his girlfriend at the time. Harry emphasized that the claim was untrue.
During his testimony, Harry recounted an incident involving a paparazzi photographer who attempted to flee in his car when confronted by Harry and his police protection officers. Harry alleged that the photographer engaged in reckless behavior, including jumping a red light and driving on the wrong side of the road, suggesting that there might have been an illegal device in the car.
The Mirror Group has denied all the claims made by Prince Harry. The case is expected to last seven weeks and also involves two Coronation Street soap stars and the ex-wife of comedian Paul Whitehouse, who are bringing their own cases against the publisher.

It seems that harry thinks because of who he is he doesn't need to prove that anything happened just the fact that he thinks it is good enough for everyone to believe him and how dare anyone say different
