Prince Harry, the youngest son of King Charles III of the United Kingdom, attended the London High Court for a hearing on his lawsuit against the tabloid’s publishing firm Daily MailAssociated Newspapers (ANL), for allegedly illegally collecting private information.

Famous people also include the musician Elton John and the actresses Liz Hurley and Sadie Frost.

His lawyers said at the time that the group “has become aware of evidence convincing and very worrying that they have been victims of horrific criminal activities and serious violations of privacy” by ANL, also publisher of “The Mail On Sunday”.
