Piers Morgan Phone Hacking: All We Know About Court Claims As Harry Responds

Piers Morgan phone hacking claims have raised a lot of eye brows.

Morgan has denied knowing of phone hacking after judge rules he did.

The ex Daily Mirror editor then hit out at Prince Harry, saying he ‘wouldn’t know truth if it slapped him in his California-tanned face’

In response, Prince Harry has hailed a “great day for truth as well as accountability”, after winning a significant part of his phone-hacking case and substantial damages against the tabloid newspaper, reports The Guardian.

Piers Morgan Phone Hacking

The judge ruled there “can be no doubt” that he knew about the practice while he was running the editorial side of the newspaper.

The TalkTV presenter said Friday’s judgment found there was “just one article relating to Prince Harry” which involved phone hacking during his editorship.

Piers added he “never hacked a phone” while editor or told anyone else to – and added he had “yet to produce evidence”.

He added that the Prince Harry had a “ruthless, greedy and hypocritical enthusiasm” for self-promotion.

Morgan said he was not asked to “provide a statement” to the court, and was “not able to respond” to accusations from “old foes with an axe to grind”.

The Duke of Sussex has been awarded substantial damages after the judge found his phone had indeed been hacked.
