Prince Harry 'found tracking device on Chelsy Davy's car', court hears
The Duke of Sussex said that he was surprised how often journalists and photographers were able to follow him and Ms Davy during their relationship.
Speaking during his phone hacking trial against the publisher of the Mirror newspaper, Harry claimed that the attention from the press was a key factor in their break-up.
The Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN)'s barrister David Sherborne asked the prince on Wednesday how he knew about the tracking device on the vehicle, to which Harry replied: “We found it.”
Harry claimed the tracking device was put on the car there by Mike Behr, a private investigator. The Duke of Sussex has previously accused Mr Behr of following him.
Harry claimed that his friend Mark Dyer also found a tracker on his car.
