The Duke of Sussex was made to feel "paranoid beyond belief" by alleged unlawful information gathering by the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday, a court has heard.
Prince Harry is among seven high-profile claimants including Sir Elton John and Liz Hurley alleging the papers' publisher, Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), committed "grave breaches of privacy" over a 20-year period.
The prince felt his "every move, thought or feeling was being tracked and monitored just for the Mail to make money out of it", according to a written submission by his lawyer.
ANL said the duke's social circle was "known to be a good source of leaks" to the press and has repeatedly denied the claimants' allegations.
Antony White KC, representing the publisher, said it was "a striking feature of the case that none of the articles were the subject of complaint by the claimants at the time of publication".
