Prince Harry and other famous names are seeking 'very substantial' damages over claims of wrong-doing by newspapers, the High Court heard on Monday. Harry and six other public figures – including Baroness Lawrence, mother of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence – are all seeking damages over allegations of unlawful information gathering. In written legal submissions, Mr White said the privacy claim was part of a 'political campaign' by Press reform group Hacked Off. Claimants in the case include musician Sir Elton John, actress Liz Hurley and Baroness Lawrence, 73, who Mr White described as a 'trophy claimant' for the group. The judge told Mr Sherborne: 'It is for you to demonstrate that there has been a wrong.'
