Prince Harry is accusing the royals of hiding phone hacking from him

Prince Harry believes his family is withholding information about phone hacking from him to avoid sitting in the witness box.

He appeared at a London court with pop superstar Elton John to deliver a high-profile privacy claim launched by celebrities and other figures against Daily Mail’s publisher.

In a witness statement, The Duke of Sussex says: “The Institution made it clear that we did not need to know anything about phone hacking and it was made clear to me that the Royal Family did not sit in the witness box because that could open up a can of worms.”

He went on to say the Royal Family’s “strict no comment policy” meant that “even the worst or most suspicious articles were often never brought to my attention”.
