About this episode
Prince Harry and seven high-profile individuals, including Baroness Lawrence, Sir Elton John, and Liz Hurley, are seeking substantial damages from Associated Newspapers after a lengthy High Court battle.

The newspaper group maintains that all stories were obtained through legitimate journalism and denies any wrongdoing. The judge has warned the claimants that they are shifting the burden of proof, requiring the reporters to prove they did not engage in illegal activities over twenty years ago. The case highlights the ongoing tension between celebrity privacy and tabloid journalism.

It's March 31st, from red carpets to breaking stories. This is entertainment and celebrity news, powered by AI. Prince Harry and six others are chasing huge damages from associated newspapers after an 11-week high court fight that's now wrapping up. The Duke, whose 41, claims daily mail and mail on Sunday journalists use private eyes to hack voicemails illegally. The claimants include big names like 73-year-old Baroness Lawrence, Sir Elton John, and actress Liz Hurley. Their lawyers say they've nailed the case, arguing everyone deserves major payouts for the privacy invasions through sneaky infographs. Meanwhile, the newspaper group pushes back hard, insisting all stories came from straight up journalism, not crimes. Their top lawyer calls the accused reporter's solid prose, who'd never risk it, and labels the whole suit of publicity stunt by press critics. The judge stepped in, warning claimants they're flipping the proof burden, making reporters
prove they stay clean on old stories from over 20. Years back, he stressed it's on the accusers to show wrongdoing. One key private investigator even backed out, denying he ever worked for the papers. As this battle heads to a verdict, it spotlights the raw clash between cell-ed privacy and tabloid scoops.
