Prince William Revealed Catherine, Princess of Wales Pregnancy to Journalist Before Royal Family, Court Hears
Charlotte Griffiths said she learned about Princess Catherine's pregnancy from Prince William at a social event but chose not to publish the scoop, highlighting ethical boundaries in journalism.
- Charlotte Griffiths, Mail on Sunday editor, told the High Court she attended a country house party where Prince William said Princess Catherine had morning sickness and she kept the information to herself days before the palace announcement.
- Charlotte Griffiths told the High Court she learned of Catherine's pregnancy days before the announcement, amid a privacy trial by seven claimants including Prince Harry and Sir Elton John, who sue ANL for privacy breaches.
- Referencing professional boundaries, Griffiths told the court she said, 'I draw a line between my professional and own personal life, as compared to my attending events as a journalist'.
- The claimants' barrister told the High Court that Griffiths had 'invented' the pregnancy story and used unlawful investigator activity, which she denied.
- Noting social ties, Griffiths recounted socialising with Prince Harry at a party before Trooping the Colour, and the trial is due to continue until later this month.
