Prince Harry today told his High Court hacking case that he 'knows of' journalist Omid Scobie, who wrote his unofficial biography and has been posting photographs of a trip to California where the duke and his family live.
The Duke of Sussex is suing Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) for damages, claiming journalists at its titles - which include the Daily and Sunday Mirror and Sunday People - used methods including phone hacking, so-called 'blagging' or gaining information by deception, and private investigators for unlawful activities.
On the second day of Harry's evidence - which saw him become the first senior royal in more than than a century to testify in court - he was asked about Mr Scobie.
Mr Scobie co-authored the 2020 book Finding Freedom about Harry and his wife Meghan, and is thought to be close to the Sussexes. However it is not known if he has visited the couple, who live in a £12million mansion in Montecito.
At the High Court today, Mr Scobie - who is Bazaar.com's royal editor-at-large - was mentioned by MGN's barrister Andrew Green KC in his cross-examination of Harry.
