☆ U.K. Phone Hacking Lawsuit Prince Harry Testifies in Court
  + stars: | 2023-06-06 | by ( Mark Landler | Megan Specia | The New York Times | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +4 min
Prince Harry’s expected testimony on Tuesday in a phone-hacking case will be the first time in over 130 years that a prominent member of Britain’s royal family is cross-examined in court. The last time it happened was in 1891, and it didn’t go well for the royal family. It was unusual then, too, for such a prominent member of the royal family — the future king, no less — to appear in court. Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal commentator, said: “You can see from reading this why it was subsequently decided that this is not something the royal family want. Furthermore, while Harry is a high-profile member of the royal family, he is no longer a working royal.

☆ Queen Victoria’s Son Was the Last British Royal to Testify in Court

Prince Harry’s expected testimony on Tuesday in a phone-hacking case will be the first time in over 130 years that a prominent member of Britain’s royal family is cross-examined in court. The last time it happened was in 1891, and it didn’t go well for the royal family. Prince Albert Edward — Queen Victoria’s eldest son, who went on to become King Edward VII in 1901 — testified as a witness in a slander case that centered on a game of baccarat gone wrong at which the prince had been present. The prince sided with the accusers, and Mr. Gordon-Cumming lost the case. It was unusual then, too, for such a prominent member of the royal family — the future king, no less — to appear in court.
