Prince Harry has denied friends fed information to the media while giving evidence in the third day of an explosive trial about claims the publisher of the Daily Mail obtained information about him unlawfully. The Duke of Sussex is one of seven people, including Sir Elton John, suing Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) at the Royal Courts of Justice over allegations it misused their private information. Today Harry told the court "my social circles were not leaky" as he gave testimony - and denied using a Facebook profile named “Mr Mischief” to contact a journalist. In his witness statement for the trial, the Duke of Sussex said he has always had an “uneasy relationship” with the press. However, as a member of the Institution the policy was to ‘never complain, never explain’.
