Harry and Meghan - OP updated with Threadbanned Users 4/5/21

Not a good look either for Harry giving evidence when he is saying words to the effect of I can't recall or you'd have to ask my legal team. He is the one giving his evidence, his legal team can't do that.

When he was editor of the Mirror, yes. The former Editor (Andy Coulson) of the News of the World got jail (18 months) for his part in phone hacking. Features editors also got jail time (6 months). No wonder the Assistant editor of the Mirror is denying knowing anything (despite hiring PIs on 800 occasions). Not once did she wonder how they got their information. She is not much of an investigative journalist, is she 😉

This case is unusual in that neither Harry's KC or the Mirror's QC requested her to attend. It was the judge that called her. Harry's QC stated that she was a hostile witness.

Legal team have the information/documents to back-up what he claims. That could be an invoice from a PI/photograph/statement from other journalists. Harry isn't the one on trial here.

Why am I not surprised the usual suspects on here are trying to defend the tabloids, Piers Morgan and the media’s despicable behaviour. The media clearly hacked people’s phones and private messages, this case isn’t just Harry taking it, there are others including Elton John. People should always be entitled to their privacy and there’s a clear breach of it here. The media should always be held to account for overstepping and also misrepresenting.

Piers Morgan has been preaching about how ‘awful’ Harry and Meghan are for years, and now from this court case I find out he’s been involved in phone hacking to gain stories of Harry and William as young men, who had lost their mother to the media. Even after Diana’s death and the tragedy of it all at the media and tabloids hands, this is how he behaved. How could anyone listen to him preach his nonsense after this, he doesn’t have a leg to stand on. Not to mention his behaviour towards Diana and Charles, etc before Diana’s death. Despicable.

Diana’s personal life was publicised all over the media long before Harry took this case along with others, he’s not the one who hacked her phone and reported on the affairs, the media did. Do you have the same distain for Elton John taking this case? Or the media in their behaviour?

Edit: Here is another example of what the U.K. media did to this poor girl and the character assassination they engaged in in relation to the case:

Former Coronation Street actress Nikki Sanderson tells court she had hair set on fire over portrayal in Mirror papers

And we’ve plenty of posters on here posting hate articles from the media on a daily basis in relation to Harry and particularly Meghan swallowing all the nonsense being fed to them.

Your post has nothing to do with the court case or call out the media’s behaviour at all despite the article I posted re the Coronation Street actress, duly noted. Instead it’s a ‘But Meghan and Harry are bad evil people…’ justification.

I’m tired of arguing with those like yourself who believe the tabloid’s narrative, even after what this case has highlighted in the above article I posted about the poor woman’s portrayal by the media.

Kate, the Royal family and the media all published countless articles claiming Meghan made her cry, repeatedly coming up to and for years after Meghan’s wedding. They only stopped when Harry finally posted proof in his book. He wouldn’t have had to do that had they not published lie after lie claiming it was Meghan.

I don’t hold Harry and Meghan up on pedestals either, they’re quite daft in my opinion but that’s all. They’re nowhere near the level deserving of such constant hate articles, dehumanising them, even threatening like Clarkson’s in December.

Bring me up the speed: haven’t been following Harry’s trial, but is it much ado about nothing? He’s clutching at straws to try show some illegal dastardly deed?

"Ask the reporters", "Ask my legal team" sums up his responses.

He hasn't proved with any compelling evidence that he was hacked by the Mirror Group. He cannot remember some articles that he claims "distressed" him. He didn't have a mobile at the time he claims it was hacked. He has admitted a grudge against the press that predates the articles in question. Much of the information in the articles was already in the public domain - some of it provided by Diana. He appears to suggest that that every article he didn't like must have been obtained by illegal or "suspicious" means. In essence, he was trying to draw inference for hacking but without any hard evidence.

This thread doesn’t even get bumped on a “daily basis” and phone hacking has by no means been proven here in this case. Gawker having hulk hogans sex tape didn’t mean they had everyone’s sex tapes, after all. This “usual suspects” angle you have is droll and does nothing to get Harry out of his sticky wicket of having to actually prove things in court.

@valoren You made a reasonable point that the British media are toxic and you’re entitled to your opinion re Harry and Meghan. However their treatment at the hands of the media is not normal in my opinion which I am also entitled to have.

@Overheal Your post is more of the same without making any new points. It’s already been pointed out on this thread Harry doesn’t need to provide evidence similar to a Criminal trial and is taking this case with multiple other celebrities.

How would you like articles written about you spread across the front page of the Irish Independent such as 'Valoren had Kissing Disease'' (when Harry was sick with glandular fever. How do you think you would feel about that as a 14 year old to be regularly splashed all over the paper?

Discussing other claimants isn't relevant to Harry's case, I've been warned for less.

I see you've ignored the hypocrisy again.

If I was arguably the most famous 14 year old in the country? I'd like to think given such fame that I'd be surrounded by people (friends, family, advisors, staff) telling me why such an article is written in the first place. (Hint: I am a famous 14 year old).
