"On 13 November 2005, an article appeared in the News of the World written by royal editor Clive Goodman, that claimed that Prince William was in the process of borrowing a portable editing suite from ITV royal correspondent Tom Bradby.

Following the publication, the Prince and Bradby met to try to figure out how the details of their arrangement had been leaked, as only two other people were aware of it. Prince William noted that another equally improbable leak had recently taken place regarding an appointment he had made with a knee surgeon. After some discussion, the Prince and Bradby concluded it was likely that their voicemails were being accessed.[3]

Their concerns were passed to the Metropolitan Police, who set up an investigation under Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, who managed the Counter Terrorism Command.[4] Clarke reported to Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman, commander of the Specialist Operations directorate.[5] The reason the investigation was passed to Hayman and Clarke, was that Hayman's command included the Protection Command, under whom SO14 provide all Royalty Protection.

Clarke's investigation began as a localised incident involving staff at Clarence House, but the compiled list of possible victims broadened to include: Government ministers; a Member of Parliament; military chiefs; a leading media figure; Premiership footballers; and celebrities. Clarke's investigation team searched the London office of the News of the World, eventually concluding that the compromised voice mail accounts belonged to Prince William's aides, including Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton,[2] and not the Prince himself.[6] "

Wiki, I know..it does have a long and interesting article concerning the entire NOW scandal and consequences, which I will go back to tomorrow..too long for tonight. It's interesting, in the lists of all the people filing lawsuits/complaints against NOW and it's agents Harry is not among them, as we know. It's only "recently" he's decided to go to court. Another interesting thing..what I've gone through so far, NOW and the Mirror came under investigation for phone hacking and unscrupulous practices...the DM was not part of the scandal.
