Royal Editor's Testimony in Privacy Lawsuit

0:00On March 2nd, Rebecca English, the Daily Mail's Royal Editor, testified in the privacy lawsuit against the papers publisher. The case involves Prince Harry, Elton John, Baroness Lawrence, and others accusing associated newspapers of unlawful information gathering. A key focus was her 2004 story claiming Harry shared relationship details with Chelsea Davy around a campfire in Botswana. Earlier this week, English explained the tip came from colleague Sam Greenhill. He got it from someone at the campfire who called the news desk after Harry's romance went public. She said she trusted Greenhill's judgment even though the college state anonymous, which she called common practice. Prince Harry pushed back hard during his own testimony last month. He insisted none of his close friends there would leak to the press. English stood firm, noting her colleague believed the source and their reporters often help each other without taking credit. The questioning also covered private investigator Mike Baer, accused of digging up Davy's flight details and seat number to South Africa.
