Prince Harry, Elton John and five other public figures were victims of widespread phone hacking and other unlawful acts by Britain's powerful Daily Mail with the complicity of executives and senior journalists, their lawyer has told a court.
The British royal and other claimants accuse Associated Newspapers of unlawful behaviour from 1993 until 2011 and beyond in one of the most high-profile civil cases in the UK for years.
Harry, 41, who arrived smiling and waving at court, said in a witness submission it was "disturbing to feel that my every move, thought or feeling was being tracked and monitored just for the Mail to make money out of it".
Associated calls the allegations "preposterous smears" and part of a co-ordinated conspiracy by a wealthy group driven by personal animosity towards the media.
