Why Prince Harry Is ‘Willing to Risk It All’ in ‘Extremely Draining’ Phone Hacking Court Battle

usmagazine.com:

Why he’s fighting. Prince Harry hasn’t held back in his ongoing fight against the Daily Mirror — and an insider says that’s not about to change.“Harry’s hell-bent on winning this case, no matter what,” the source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. “Harry says he’ll share whatever he must to bring justice.

He’s willing to risk it all in that regard.”The Duke of Sussex, 38, began his testimony in the case earlier this month, appearing in court on June 6 and 7.

The Spare author is suing Mirror Group Newspapers, which publishes the Daily Mirror, for allegedly gathering information about him by unlawfully accessing his voicemail messages between 1996 and 2011.

The media company, meanwhile, has denied the claims by stating that its journalists used legal reporting techniques.“It’s been extremely draining and nerve-racking,” the insider says of Harry’s involvement in the case. “But Harry’s determination to speak up against what he claims was plain illegality is what pushed him through and kept him focused.”In his witness statement, the Invictus Games founder blamed tabloid coverage of his personal life for his split from Chelsy Davy, whom he dated off and on from 2004 to 2010.
