Prince Harry to star in bombshell documentary

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, is set to reveal the details of his recent phone hacking lawsuit.

The Prince will feature in an upcoming ITV documentary about the scandal.

"Featuring Prince Harry's first major interview since the conclusion of his court case with Mirror Group Newspapers, this documentary hears about his mission to continue his fight to expose the illegal tactics of Britain's tabloid press and explores what those in charge at Fleet Street really knew as this scandal unfolded," a press release from ITV reads.

The show, titled Tabloids on Trial, will also feature testimonies from Hugh Grant, Charlotte Church, Paul Gascoigne and other celebrity victims.

The Duke of Sussex was among the public faces who sued The Mirror, claiming newspaper staffers illegally hacked his phone between 1996 and 2011. Mirror Group Newspapers denied the allegations. The trial began in June 2023, with the court ruling in Harry's favour in December.

The Prince was awarded $180,000 (£140,600) in damages.

"This case is not just about hacking. It is about a systemic practice of unlawful and appalling behaviour, followed by clever-ups and destruction of evidence, the shocking scale of which can only be revealed through these proceedings," Harry said in a statement at the time.

The broadcaster will premiere Tabloids on Trial on 25 July.
