US EditionActor Liz Hurley in tears as accuses UK tabloid of 'monstrous' conduct
Elizabeth Hurley accuses Daily Mail's publisher of phone tapping, recording calls, and stealing medical records in a privacy lawsuit involving seven claimants including Prince Harry and Elton John.
- On Thursday, Elizabeth Hurley gave emotional evidence at the Royal Courts of Justice, saying `There were microphones on the windowsill of my dining room... I was being listened to` as she accused Associated Newspapers Ltd of planting secret mics.
- The case is one of seven coordinated claims against ANL, including Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Sir Elton John, with the trial opening on Monday in London's High Court and expected to last nine weeks.
- Hurley alleges specific intrusive methods including tapping landlines, recording live calls and stealing medical records during her pregnancy with Damian Hurley, son, across fifteen articles from 2002–2011 about the 2002 birth and paternity fight with Steve Bing.
- Hurley insisted she seeks accountability rather than sympathy and became upset her son Damian Hurley would see the articles, while Antony White KC for ANL called the claims unsupported and brought too late.
- A disputed investigator statement has since been withdrawn, and more witnesses are due next week with a written judgment expected later, as Hurley previously donated £350,000 to Hacked Off.
