The royal's legal fight against Associated Newspapers
About This Program
The royal's high-stakes legal case against Associated Newspapers, publishers of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. Harry and six other high-profile public figures, including Elton John, Liz Hurley and Doreen Lawrence, accuse the papers of law-breaking, including phone hacking and bugging, to obtain stories. Associated Newspapers says the allegations are 'preposterous smears'. With the trial due to start in the New Year, Cathy Newman examines what's been going on - and what the case means for Harry's wider war with the press and his relationship with his family
