On Monday, lawyers for Prince Harry blamed alleged illegal intrusion into his private life by journalists for the break-up of a long-term relationship.

In a witness statement read out by his lawyers, the Duke of Sussex said Chelsea Davy - his on-and-off girlfriend between 2004 and 2010 - decided that "a royal life was not for her" following repeated acts of harassment.

This included journalists booking into a hotel in Bazaruto, a small island off the coast of Mozambique, where the couple had tried to escape to in order to "enjoy some peace and quiet".

The lawyers also said that mobile phone data to be used in the trial shows that Davy was targeted for voicemail interception between 2007 and 2009.

The trial also heard an apology to Prince Harry from MGN for one instance of unlawful information gathering by a journalist at one of its titles.

A private investigator was instructed by a journalist at The People to unlawfully gather information about Harry's activities at the Chinawhite nightclub in London on one night in February 2004, the publisher’s barrister told the court.

But MGN denies allegations of voicemail interception in the cases and has also claimed some of the cases being brought are beyond a legal time limit.

At the heart of the trial will be 207 newspaper stories published between 1991 and 2011.

Some 140 of them, dating from 1996 to 2010, were about Prince Harry.

The claimants argue senior executives must have known about unlawful information gathering behind these stories and failed to stop it.

One of the key allegations in the case is that the TV presenter Piers Morgan, editor of the Daily Mirror between 1995 and 2004, knew of illegal activity.

The Duke of Sussex's lawyers want the court to consider a series of incidents which they say are evidence that Morgan not only knew about hacking but told others too.

Morgan has repeatedly denied involvement in illegal phone hacking - but this is the first time that a court will have been asked to rule on allegations about what he knew.

Harry is one of several high-profile figures bringing claims against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN). Lawyers argue that executives at the company knew about widespread phone hacking, but failed to act.

The estate of the late singer George Michael and actor Ricky Tomlinson have also brought claims against MGN, but it is the "test cases" - including Harry's - that have been selected to go to trial in the first instance from the wider group of claimants.

Alongside the Duke of Sussex, allegations from three other claimants are being heard: Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell (real name Michael Turner), actress Nikki Sanderson, and Fiona Wightman, the ex-wife of the comedian Paul Whitehouse.

MGN denies allegations of voicemail interception in all the cases. The company has also said that some of the cases being brought are beyond a legal time limit.

We're going to start to see the detail of articles Prince Harry and the three other claimants in this case say were the product of voicemail interception. It’s going to be quite detailed.

In essence, the job of the judge is not to simply go to the general arguments being brought by Prince Harry and others, who claim it’s obvious that people must have known what was going on.

He has to effectively analyse each of these articles, so there is going to be a lot of detail in the days to come.

In some respects, this case is starting to shape up into the narrative of "Prince Harry vs Piers Morgan" - the former editor of the Daily Mirror from 1995-2004.

Morgan is not appearing as a witness in this case as we understand it, and he denies any involvement in phone hacking at all.

But clearly a lot of what team Harry are saying in court is about what they argue is witness evidence that Morgan must have known.

So they’re really trying to push the idea that senior figures at the paper, beyond the frontline journalists, knew what was going on.

It’s going to be interesting to see how Mirror Group Newspapers respond to that once the evidence starts going before the judge.
