Prince Harry Granted Key Evidence in Daily Mail Hacking Case

The UK government's decision to unseal Leveson Inquiry documents bolsters the legal battle against Associated Newspapers.

Prince Harry and other high-profile figures, including Sir Elton John, have been granted access to previously restricted documents from the Leveson Inquiry to support their phone hacking lawsuit against the Daily Mail's publisher, Associated Newspapers.
The government's decision to unseal the documents, which detail payments to private investigators, marks a significant development in the case and is seen as a boost for the claimants.
Associated Newspapers has consistently denied the allegations of phone hacking and other unlawful information gathering practices, arguing that the claims are outside the legal time limit for action.
The case, which accuses the publisher of engaging in unlawful behavior such as placing listening devices in cars and recording private phone conversations, is likely to go to trial early next year.
Prince Harry recently settled his outstanding claims against Mirror Group Newspapers for an undisclosed sum, following a victory in court over widespread and habitual phone hacking.
