By this stage, Chelsy was already extremely guarded about our relationship and our circle of friends who we trusted with information about us had shrank considerably. “I had been immature, I hadn’t really thought about my actions and I had made a stupid decision – and my mistakes were being played out publicly. Given we were based in different countries, a lot of our relationship was conducted over the telephone, so I know I would have spoken to her a lot over this time because it was a challenging period for me but I don’t recall her reaction. “I don’t remember if Chelsy and I did argue about the party. “The article contains several quotes from ‘friends’ or other ‘partygoers’, but the details about our telephone communications are not attributed to anyone, so how could the Defendant’s journalists know about this”, Harry said in his written statement. “He would have been one of the people in the know after this party”, he said.

But he suggested it was a sign of phone hacking, together with missed calls to his friend Guy Pelly’s phone at the time. The story suggested Harry had received “a tongue lashing down the phone” for his behaviour from Ms Davy – an incident the Prince said he could not remember. He told the court Mr Behr “had my girlfriend under 24-hour surveillance in South Africa at the time”, and had “put a tracking device on (her) car”. Harry said claims he was “flirting” with another woman were untrue, as he suggested details of the Daily Mirror stories had been obtained through phone hacking. Their relationship came into sharp public focus when Harry was pictured wearing a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party, and was accused in the media of sitting with another woman on his lap.

The Duke claimed journalist Jane Kerr had tasked South African PI Mike Behr to keep tabs on Ms Davy when they were dating in 2005. Prince Harry says his former girlfriend Chelsy Davy was “put under 24-hour surveillance” and a tracking device was fitted to her car by a newspaper’s private investigator. “The thought of Piers Morgan and his band of journalists earwigging into my mother’s private and sensitive messages (in the same way as they have me) and then having given her a “nightmare time” three months prior to her death in Paris, makes me feel physically sick and even more determined to hold those responsible, including Mr Morgan, accountable for their vile and entirely unjustified behaviour.” “I can only assume that this information had been obtained via voicemail interception and/or other unlawful information gathering such as live land line tapping”, he said. Harry said the two were in contact by phone, and his mother had revealed her “horror” at the Daily Mirror finding out about their friendship.

Harry: James Hewitt rumour stories ‘aimed at ousting me from royal family’.Andrew Green KC: the ‘beast’ cross-examiner set to tear Prince Harry’s court case “to shreds”.The country and the British public deserve to know the depths of what was actually happening then, and indeed now. I may not have a role within the Institution but, as a member of the British Royal family, and as a soldier upholding important values, I feel there’s a responsibility to expose this criminal activity in the name of public interest. Democracy fails when your press fails to scrutinise and hold the government accountable, and instead choose to get into bed with them so they can ensure the status quo. “On a national level as, at the moment, our country is judged globally by the state of our press and our government – both of which I believe are at rock bottom. Harry did not reserve his attacks for the media. “My experience is journalists would be under a huge amount of pressure to deliver the goods”, he said. New West End Company BRANDPOST | PAID CONTENT.
