The Duke has described his appearance in the High Court to be cross-examined over articles he claims show evidence of unlawful information gathering as a “stressful experience”. “I can’t remember whether I wanted a meeting or not,” Harry says when Mr Green pressed him for a final time. I assume I would have wanted a meeting…I’d love to give him a piece of my mind,” Harry told the High Court on Tuesday.

Harry responded: “No, because I wrote it when I was 38 years old and in this story I was 18. “There is no suggestion in Spare that you were firmly against a meeting,” said Mr Green. The 2003 article in the People newspapers claimed the brothers disagreed over whether to meet Mr Burrell with William wanting to in an attempt to prevent him selling further stories while Harry was against it because he was a “two-faced s-“.īut when the Duke was questioned on Tuesday about the report, it was pointed out to him that his apparent opposition was not included in his memoir. On Monday, Harry’s barrister, David Sherborne, said the article showed how “seeds of discord” had been created between the brothers, as he claimed unlawful information gathering by tabloid newspapers played a part in the deterioration of their relationship. The Duke told the High Court he couldn’t remember whether he wanted to meet his mother’s former butler Paul Burrell, despite his opposition apparently causing a rift with his brother the Prince of Wales. The Duke of Sussex has been forced to admit his Spare memoir has contradicted claims made in the High Court during his case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN).
