Daily Mail.Watch Harry arrive to court here:Prince Harry arrives at the High Court to give evidence in his hacking case against Mirror Group Newspapers.
The first time in 130 years a senior Royal has appeared in a court witness box. And promises to be box office… I’m off to get my seat in court! #PrinceHarry #Hacking pic.twitter.com/2Pdsw5vr0GIt was these kinds of detailed stories when he was 18 that caused Harry to question the loyalties of those around him and “contributed to the general feeling of paranoia that I was so used to living with, a feeling of not being able to trust anybody.”He drew a parallel with what Princess Diana went through during her time under the microscope of the British media and the royal family.“It was so conflicting.
It’s only now, realising what the [Mirror Group’s] journalists were doing, and how they were getting their information, that I can see how much of my life was wasted on this paranoia,” Harry said in his statement. “I’ve always heard people refer to my mother as paranoid, but she wasn’t.
She was fearful of what was actually happening to her and now I know that I was the same.”Prince Harry says he wants to follow in his mom’s footsteps and help to end HIV transmission.Harry’s rejection of Diana being labeled “paranoid,” now stands in contrast to statements William made two years ago.Back in 2021, William described his mother’s “paranoia” after a BBC investigation uncovered the dubious methods journalist Martin Bashir used to secure his bombshell 1995 interview with Princess Diana.
