In May 2023, five claimants including Prince Harry will go to court as part of ongoing legal action against the Mirror Group (MGN).
Their cases are representative of thousands of other people’s and allege widespread criminality at the paper over the course of around a decade. This showdown will be particularly seismic because of the ongoing feud between Prince Harry and media personality Piers Morgan, who was editor of The Mirror for some of that time over the years.
Our journalists have unearthed a huge amount of evidence suggesting unlawful news gathering at the Mirror, including under Piers Morgan’s editorship.
Prince Harry and Piers Morgan’s feud dates back to when the prince was a child and was reignited when he started a relationship with Meghan Markle over the last five years or so.
The feud has given rise to numerous headlines and viral moments, the most famous of which was when Piers Morgan stormed off the set of Good Morning Britain during a discussion of Meghan Markle.
We got in touch with media law expert Professor Paul Wragg to ask what we might expect during the upcoming trial.
