Summary
Prince Harry has claimed victory in a landmark court case against one of Britain’s biggest news publishers – the Mirror Group – with a High Court judge finding the company’s practice of phone hacking was “extensive” as well as its use of private investigators to illegally gather information to write stories for its newspapers.<br /><br />Justice Fancourt ruled that 15 out of a selection of 33 stories written about Harry by the paper were obtained through illegal breaches of privacy, and that senior executives at the company “turned a blind eye.” <br /><br />On the Sky News Daily, Sam Washington talks to Sky’s royal correspondent Laura Bundock and media management lawyer Jonathan Coad about what this ruling means for the Prince – as well as the media industry. <br /><br />Producer: Alex Edden<br />Interviews producer: Melissa Tutesigensi<br />Editor: Philly Beaumont
