Prince Harry admitted his memoir Spare contradicted a claim in his witness statement at the High Court today - and denied accusations his solicitors drafted evidence for him.

The Duke of Sussex, who has become the first royal to testify for more than a century at the phone hacking trial in London, also tried to turn questions on a lawyer after the High Court was told a story subject to one of his complaints came from a royal press release.

Andrew Green KC, for Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), told the royal: 'I am here to cross-examine you, I am afraid that's the way this works, Prince Harry.'
