Overview
- Private Facebook messages between Prince Harry and Mail on Sunday journalist Charlotte Griffiths surfaced in court during closing stages, with The Telegraph and The Times publishing the exchanges on April 1.
- Testimony ended March 31, and the High Court is now awaiting a written ruling from Mr Justice Nicklin.
- The 2011–2012 chats include playful sign-offs like 'mwah' and lines such as 'Miss our movie snuggles,' which appear to contrast with Harry’s testimony that he was not friends with journalists.
- Harry said he cut contact after learning Griffiths worked for the Mail, while she stated they knew each other socially and that those who introduced them knew she was a reporter.
- Associated Newspapers denies systematic unlawful information gathering and says about 50 disputed stories relied on legitimate sources, as other claimants including Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley await the judgment.
