PRINCE HARRY today faced a second day of gruelling evidence at the High Court, saying he lost his trust in staff at Sandhurst military academy after details of his medical treatment ended up in a tabloid newspaper. The Duke of Sussex's army training was delayed by a knee injury, with details of the issue ending up in a 2005 article in The People newspaper.
Harry said he had not been "freely discussing" the injury, and he believes The People's story had been the product of hacking or unlawful newsgathering. He said: "I was not going around freely discussing any medical issues or injuries that I had. I was almost conditioned to feel guarded at this point in my life, worrying I couldn't trust anyone for fear that it would end up splashed across the tabloids."
He told the court that newspaper coverage led to "distrust I ended up having at Sandhurst with the medical staff". The People's news story also made reference to 15-minute email sessions Harry had at Sandhurst with his then-girlfriend Chelsy Davy, including a quote from another unidentified source that Harry "always came back with a smile on my face". He said: "I'd only been at Sandhurst a couple of weeks by this point, and while I can't remember the specifics of how often I was speaking to Chelsy over email at this time, I wasn't sharing this information with my colleagues - who I'd only just met- least of all because that kind of thing would have made me seem soft, but also because me and Chelsy were so protective of our relationship and wanted people to know as little as possible for fear of 'leaks""
Challenged over the source of the article, Harry insisted he believes phone hacking was involved.
