Ed. note: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day.
I believe phone-hacking was on an industrial scale across at least three of the papers at the time and that is beyond doubt.
To have a decision against me and any other people that come behind me with their claims, given that Mirror Group have accepted hacking, … yes, I would feel some injustice.
— Prince Harry, in courtroom testimony given during trial in a case against MGN, the publisher of the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, and Sunday People, over claims that the publications’ senior editors approved of phone-hacking as a way of unlawfully gathering information for reporting purposes between 1991 and 2011. As noted by Reuters, Prince Harry is the first member of the royal family to appear on the stand in more than 130 years.
