Prince Harry adopted a defensive stance as he testified against the publisher of the Daily Mail, underscoring the emotional toll of persistent media scrutiny on him and his family.

Alleging a prolonged invasion of privacy, Harry, alongside celebrities like Sir Elton John, accused Associated Newspapers Ltd of illegitimate information gathering. Despite the publisher's rebuttal, Harry maintained that unregulated media tactics harmed him severely.

Harry's testimony highlighted the psychological strain of living under relentless press coverage, a factor driving his legal campaign for reform, particularly after the media's role in his mother, Princess Diana's, death.
