In a historic moment, Prince Harry broke the tradition of royal non-involvement in politics and publicly criticized the UK Government during his testimony at the High Court. This marked the first time a British royal has testified in open court since 1891.
Dressed in a navy suit and dark purple tie, Harry entered the witness box and swore an oath on the Bible.
During his testimony, Harry passionately voiced his concerns about the state of the press and the government, describing both as being at rock bottom.
As the fifth in line to the throne, Harry’s appearance in court holds significant historical importance, as he sues the Mirror’s publisher for alleged hacking, which the publisher denies.
In his written witness statement, Harry revealed a wide range of deeply personal and shocking revelations, including attacks on his character and conduct by the press, and the intrusion into his private life and that of his late mother, Princess Diana.
Harry’s testimony sheds light on the unethical practices of the media and the impact it has had on his life, family, and friends, making his court appearance a landmark event in the history of British royalty.
