Later, Prince Harry’s lawyer Barrister David Sherborne read out the statement outside the court, saying “That includes Mr Morgan, who as editor, knew perfectly well what was going on, as the judge held.

"Even his own employer realised it simply could not call him as a witness of truth. His contempt for the court's ruling and his continued attacks ever since demonstrate why it was so important to obtain a clear and detailed judgment."

Responding to Prince Harry’s statement, Morgan took to X, formerly Twitter handle, and tweeted: “STATEMENT: I totally agree with Prince Harry that ruthless intrusion into the private lives of the Royal Family for financial gain is utterly reprehensible… and I hope he stops doing it.”
