The High Court is currently hearing allegations from Prince Harry and three others that journalists employed by the publisher of the Mirror gathered information on them via unlawful methods, including hacking their phones.
Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) denies allegations of voicemail interception in these cases. It also claimed some of the cases being brought are beyond a legal time limit.
Alongside Harry, Coronation Street actors Michael Turner - known professionally as Michael Le Vell - and Nikki Sanderson, as well as Fiona Wightman, the ex-wife of the comedian Paul Whitehouse, have also brought claims against the publisher.
The four of them are being used as “test cases”, selected to go on trial from a wider group of claimants in a bid to be “representative” of the types of allegations facing the publisher.
