Mr Justice Nicklin ruled that 14 articles published by ANL between 2001 and 2013 were not based on unlawful information gathering, contrary to Prince Harry's allegations. The Duke of Sussex had claimed that the articles were derived from illegal methods, including phone hacking, landline tapping, and the use of private investigators to 'blag' sensitive information like medical records.
