New details have emerged in the legal proceedings involving Prince Harry and Associated Newspapers Limited, following the presentation of previously undisclosed Facebook messages during a session at the High Court in London. The case centers on allegations that certain publications obtained private information through unlawful means. During earlier testimony, Prince Harry stated that he had minimal interaction with journalists and did not maintain ongoing personal relationships with members of the press. This assertion formed a key element of the argument that any reported information about his private life could not have been sourced through legitimate access. However, documents presented in court included a series of Facebook messages exchanged between Prince Harry and Charlotte Griffiths, a journalist associated with the Mail on Sunday at the time. The messages, dated between 2011 and 2012, suggest a level of familiarity and ongoing communication following an initial meeting at a so...

Prince Harry’s legal action against Associated Newspapers has already been one of the most closely watched royal court cases in recent years, but fresh testimony has given the dispute a new and more delicate layer. During proceedings in London, the High Court heard evidence from Charlotte Griffiths, now editor at large at the Mail on Sunday, who described past social contact with the Duke of Sussex during the early 2010s. According to coverage of the hearing, Griffiths said Harry sent her a Facebook friend request in 2011 and that they were both present at a party connected to mutual social circles in 2012. She also described being in contact with him by phone and text in relation to that gathering. The evidence matters because Harry is one of several claimants accusing Associated Newspapers Limited of unlawful information gathering over many years, including the use of private investigators and other intrusive methods. The publisher denies the allegations. The new courtroom detail doe...
