Prince Harry messaged a journalist who called him “Mr Mischief”, a trial has revealed. A series of alleged exchanges with Charlotte Griffiths emerged during the Duke of Sussex’s privacy trial<\/a> on Tuesday (March 31).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Facebook<\/a> messages allegedly show the Mail on Sunday reporter calling Harry “Mr Mischief” and “H Bomb”. She also refers to a “fun weekend of naughtiness”. Harry’s messages allegedly include the words “sugar”, “Griff” and “Miss our movie snuggles”, The Times reports<\/a>. Claims about the messages follow Harry<\/a> telling<\/span> the court in January that he was not friends with any of the journalists linked to the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Griffiths joined the Mail on Sunday in 2008, was diary editor from 2013 to 2020 and is now editor-at-large.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She said she joined Harry<\/a> at a weekend country house party in 2011, hosted by Arthur Landon, a film producer and one of the prince’s oldest friends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The messages also refer to “Skippy”, the nickname of Tom Inskip, who was one of Harry’s closest friends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She said in June 2012, she was invited to join an all-night party with Harry before he attended a military parade. Griffiths was questioned about a telephone call to the prince at 2.50am and three text message exchanges, The Times reports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Harry claimed that a series of articles<\/a> published in the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday could only have been obtained through unlawful information-gathering methods, including phone hacking and bugging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Harry, 41, and Sir Elton John<\/a>, 78, along with five other high-profile individuals, are bringing claims against Associated Newspapers over alleged unlawful practices, including phone hacking, bugging and “blagging” calls. The publisher and its journalists deny any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
