Overview
- Prince Harry and six other celebrities are suing Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), the publishers of the Daily Mail, for alleged breaches of privacy.
- The lawsuit revolves around ledgers detailing payments to private investigators that the Mail disclosed to the Leveson Inquiry, a UK public inquiry into the conduct of the press.
- ANL has refused to hand over the records, arguing that they were given confidentially to the Leveson Inquiry and should remain so.
- Harry's legal team plans to write to a minister to ask for the files to be officially released, as they believe the ledgers could support their claims.
- ANL denies allegations of involvement in hacking and argues that the legal challenges were brought too late.
