This was quite possibly the last time we'll ever see Prince Harry entering the witness box, after many years of his high-profile court battles with the press.

And after the tetchy, scratchy, emotional exchanges in the High Court, it's not something that you think he'll miss.

It's been a "horrible experience", he said about this latest court case, now up against Associated Newspapers in his third set-piece legal dispute with a newspaper group.

Towards the end of two hours of questions, he railed against the "disgusting" sense that he wasn't entitled to a private life, and talked of the emotional toll of alleged press intrusion on him and his family.

"They've made my wife's life an absolute misery," he said, voice cracking, in what could be his last ever words in a UK courtroom.
