'Illegal' golf club story came from Prince Harry's 18th birthday interview, ... trends now

A tabloid story Prince Harry complains was unlawfully obtained actually came from an interview he gave to mark his 18th birthday, High Court documents suggest.

The prince granted the interview to the Press Association in which he disclosed he received a gift of golf clubs from his uncle Earl Spencer and planned to be at home at Highgrove on his big day with his father and brother.

The Daily Mirror published an article, which it says was based on the interview, on September 16, 2002.

It is now one of 140 articles which the Duke of Sussex alleges were obtained through illegal means.

To mark Harry's birthday, his public relations advisers arranged the interview at St James's Palace in London. It was released on the Press Association's wire service, with most newspapers carrying a version of it.
