Sherborne raises another article, this time it’s written by Rebecca English. She’s the Daily Mail’s current royal editor. She was the royal correspondent when these articles were published.
Yesterday, Sherborne accused her of “obtaining the exact plane seats, flight times and travel plans” of Prince Harry’s then-girlfriend Chelsy Davy in December 2007.
We are hearing more about this article now.
Prince Harry’s witness statement says this was not only “intrusive” information, but it also carried security risks.
Sherborne says the evidence shows English paid £200 for this information to private investigation Mike Behr, including Davy’s seat number.
English says she doesn’t remember this email, he adds.
It was “entirely frustrating” that this information came out, while Prince Harry was trying to maintain a private relationship, the duke says in his witness statement.
Prince Harry says it’s “deeply disturbing” seeing this information in the article, and that neither he nor Davy were sharing this information with others.
“It demonstrates irresistibly” that English used unlawful information gathering, Sherborne says.
