Prince Harry has finished his second day of giving evidence in the High Court. The Duke of Sussex is taking legal action against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) alleging that tabloid reporters broke the law to get stories about him. He was cross-examined by the Mirror Group’s barrister Andrew Green and then was asked questions by his own lawyer, David Sherborne. Here’s what unfolded today:

• Prince Harry says the media exposure for this court case has been ‘a lot’

• The Duke of Sussex found a tracking device under then-girlfriend Chelsy Davy’s car

• Harry calls several articles ‘suspicious’ because they have been attributed to ‘pals’ or ‘Palace sources’

• The Duke said the alleged phone hacking ‘could have been happening on a daily basis’

2.35pm Prince Harry leaves the witness box

Prince Harry has finished giving evidence. He is staying in court to hear other people give evidence, although it is unclear how long he will stay for.
