Harry alleges that his mother's private text messages and phone calls were obtained by journalists working for Rupert Murdoch's tabloid newspapers before she died, with the information used as the basis for several stories in the Sun and the News of the World.
Harry alleges in court documents that this illegal targeting of Diana-as well as the then Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles - was known about and hidden by Morgan and other editors in the mid-1990s.
Morgan, who hosts a nightly show on Murdoch's TalkTV channel, has always denied any direct knowledge of phone hacking during his time as a tabloid newspaper editor. He has had repeated run-ins with Harry: in 2021, Morgan quit ITV's Good Morning Britain after making comments about the prince's wife, the Duchess of Sussex.
Harry lists a number of articles that were published during Morgan's time as News of the World editor, between January 1994 and August 1995. The prince alleges that all were the result of illegal information gathering.
They include:
● "Di's cranky phone calls to married Oliver; She called 3 times in 9 minutes and hung up as she heard Oliver's voice", about Diana's alleged relationship with the art dealer Oliver Hoare.
● "Di's roam alone", about Diana flying to the US on holiday and leaving William and Harry behind with members of the royal family.
