Prince Harry was today accused of being 'in the realms of total speculation' while giving evidence at a London phone hacking trial where he also suggested his father King Charles may have been a victim.

In a heated moment at the High Court, where the Duke of Sussex became the first royal to testify for more than a century, Andrew Green, KC for Mirror Group Newspapers, told him: 'That's not an answer.'

'Are we not, Prince Harry, in the realms of total speculation?' Mr Green said shortly afterwards when the royal said he was 'not sure' whose phone was hacked when he broke his thumb playing football at Eton and it appeared in the Press.

And as the world was captivated by Harry's landmark appearance, he used his pulpit beneath the High Court coat of arms of his father the Sovereign to claim:

Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell was a 'two-faced s***'

Stories about James Hewitt being his 'biological father' made him fear 'I might be ousted from the Royal Family'

He worried he would be expelled from Eton for taking drugs

Diana's supposed paranoia mirrored his own fears of friends betraying him

Journalists hacked his girlfriend Chelsy Davy after he dressed as a fancy-dress Nazi

'Horrific personal attacks and intimidation' on him and Meghan were allegedly made by former editor Piers Morgan

He is exposing media 'criminality' for moral reasons and as 'a soldier upholding important values'
