The court is now looking at a newspaper article from September 2007, reporting details of Prince Harry and his then girlfriend Chelsy Davy’s apparently troubled relationship.
“Prince Harry’s romance with Chelsy Davy is in crisis after a string of bitter bust-ups,” The People’s article exclaimed.
“Stunning Chelsy, 21, is said to be ‘furious and deeply upset’ with Harry after THREE monumental rows.”

In his written witness statement, the prince says: “I really cannot understand how the defendant’s journalists obtained such specific details for this article, however given what I know about [the reporter] Dean Rousewell’s activities, I find it very suspicious.
“I certainly wasn’t discussing our relationship in these kind of details with anyone inside the Palace.
“Given the hours I was working at the time, it’s likely Chelsy and I did exchange voicemails even more often than normal, so I now believe that this information must have come from the hacking of our voicemails.”
