Prince Harry unexpectedly appeared in a London court on Monday to attend a hearing in a joint lawsuit against Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail.

On that day, journalists had access to court documents, including those filed by attorney David Sherburne on behalf of the Duke of Sussex.

The documents detailed how the publisher's alleged actions had not only violated Harry's privacy over the years, but had deeply affected his quality of life.

According to the Evening Standard, the document states that the Duke is "distressed that Associated's unlawful conduct has deprived him of most of his significant teenage years." [In particular, Associated's illegal publication of the article caused suspicion and paranoia. As a result, friends were lost or disowned. In addition, everyone became a 'suspect' because they were misled by the way the articles were written and led to believe that people close to them had provided information to Associated's newspaper. [After the untimely and tragic death of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997, the media promised to improve its behavior.

In the trial, Prince Harry joined forces with prominent public figures, including Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley, in a variety of privacy violations, including allegations of phone tapping, "hiring private investigators," and "accessing bank accounts, credit history, and financial transactions through unauthorized means or manipulation."

The Associated Press is accused of.
