so prince harry can claim the quote back then together with prince william for uncovering the extenting which then led to the disclosure of very widespread phone hacking on a systematic basis by the news of the world in particular but also by some of the other tablet papers. and that led in turn to the inquiry fred by lord justice levinson, a very seniorjudge which reported in 2012 and recommended a more effective independent body to regulate the press. and the prime minister at the time david cameron welcomed the levinson report but he failed to follow its central recommendation and set up by law a more effective press regulator. —— the leveson report. and i don't know any of the political background to this latest court case, but it's possible that it is because of the failure of the government fully to implement the leveson report and follow through on what would have been part two of the leveson inquiry which was to investigate the extent of unlawful or improper conduct within news international now one of the defendants and prince harry's court case as well as other media organi

the royalfamily, talking laughter in terms of when one looks at the royal family, talking about prince harry talking about prince harryjust a moment ago, a lot has been made of the differing approaches to. it's very evident between the split when they seem to between the split when they seem to be doing this fab four thing and they've now split. this lot may be dull and doing the right thing but they are not causing ructions, they are not causing ripples and they are doing the thing that, you have to remember, if you want the public to love you, you have to share a little bit. they share the kids in a controlled way. a tricky balance. a quiz before we go. we know the duke of cambridge is an aston villa fan, prince harry is... no idea. no idea. a p pa re ntly prince harry is... no idea. no idea. apparently arsenal. prince charles? jeremy corbyn is an arsenal fan. the queen as a west ham fan, apparently. i used to be a west ham season ticket holder. you saw her there. laughter that's it for the papers this hour. nigel and jo will be back at 11.30 for another look at the papers. next on bbc new

and of course that heady mixture is even worse for prince harry, even what happened to his mother. o got to think about the long—term, and the long—term here is that the royal family, and particularly harry and meghan, need a positive outcome on their lives. they need a positive look at their lives by the media. and what will now happen is that although they may win these individual court cases, the individual court cases, the individual legal battles, if you will, they are likely to lose the war. they are going to be excoriated in every editorial, every op—ed in the newspapers. the comment about the newspapers. the comment about the way in which they use private jets while shouting about eco—friendly environments, those are the kinds of things where they are going to be legitimately criticised, andi going to be legitimately criticised, and i think that is going to be the real downfall. and it really is the flaw in this. that is a problem when you go to see lawyers, often lawyers think of things in legal terms. they don't think of it with a reputational risk attached to it. i think

and clearly from the strong words in that statement, how prince harry feels, that is represented in theite negative coverage of them in recent months. over some missteps, the private jets, the celebrities, months. over some missteps, the privatejets, the celebrities, and that sort of thing. the irony, of course, is that so much of that has been pulled back over the past ten days with the successful visit. it is, as you say, perpetually a balance between fulfilling their public duties, fulfilling the role into which they find themselves, with all the advantages and all the privileges that they have as leading members of the royal family, while at the same time, living a private life with an expectation of privacy, which they have, and this letter from meghan to her estranged father has been breached. and just to reiterate, the mail on sunday say they will vigorously defend the story they wrote. let us know what you think about that this morning. i think it will be interesting to find out where our viewers sit on that side of the debate, because it is a really strongly worded statement on

following the documentary, palace insiders say prince william was worried about prince harry and his eghan. those remarks were picked up by uk publications. the source reacted to the many headlines telling cnn that prince haurry has never shied away from talking about his own mental health and the importance of mental fitness and well-being. >> i thought it was a little surprising that the clips were broadcast while harry's elder brother, duke of cambridge and his wife, were doing an official visit very successfully to afghanistan. i wondered about the constant references from the interviewer to mental health. to me, this is an issue about the strains and stresses of being in the public domain the whole time, and it really is very difficult. is it about mental health? i'm not so sure about that. but i thought what came through, what was a very genuine, very loving young couple working hard to make the best of a pretty difficult role. >> they added any sibling or person seeing that talk of mental health would, of course, be concerned but said the tabloids and briefings by so-called pal

and the context is simmering, simmering hatred really that prince harry has for what he describes ashe cheaper end, the more popular populist end of the newspaper industry here in the uk. it is very aggressive and has published a series of highly critical stories about prince harry but also in particular about meghan. and when meghan issued that court action against the mail on sunday an absolutely excoriating statement, there is a statement saying there was a ruthless campaign against his wife saying that it was maliciously driven, saying that it was selectively edited. i mean, there was no holds barred. and then two days later, up pops the court case. now, that would have been filed some weeks ago but it is a sign that unlike the royal family normally, he is simply taking on some of the most popular newspapers. there is no holds barred, he is doubling down all the way. well the timing is very interesting, isn't it? because this alleged phone hacking happens a long time ago. why do you think it has taken so long for him to do this? oh, i mean, i think he decided at some point over t

i think it's because prince harry has declared a one—man war against the tabloid press.phone hacking in any way, shape or form, but the timing is so significant, and i know there is division between senior royals and their advisers over the wisdom of what he has done. the news comes just two days after it was revealed that meghan is taking legal action against another newspaper, the mail on sunday, for publishing a letter she wrote to her father. as that was announced, harry launched an angry and deeply personal attack on the tabloid press and what he said was its ruthless campaign against his wife. royals rarely reach for a lawyer or a writ, and the reason is that it's such a high risk strategy. they can be cross—examined, they can also have disclosure go to places that they don't really want, so it is a very high risk strategy for things that are outside their control, but it's also a high risk strategy for the editors, who are going to have to give evidence too. the royalfamily is always high profile, but harry has pushed back before. stay with us on bbc news, still t
