I would hope the judge applies the law, no matter how irritating the person bringing the case

That jokey comment to the judge about discussing the case with his kids over Facetime was so inappropriate it makes me cringe just to recall it. He is really not a skilled communicator.
Like Meghan, he likes fashionable soundbytes and cool ideas before an audience where there is no genuine exchange of ideas taking place, just droning on and on as a special guest. He lacks the agility of mind or the self-awareness to know where to stop and build up credibility before a Judge.

What jokey comment?

When the Judge told him that he was not allowed to discuss the case overnight with anybody. Then he asked if that included discussing it with his kids over Facetime. It was a lame joke that was not called for. He was required to agree, not get matey or jokey.

Yeah that made me cringe just reading that - time and place, read the room Harry

😯he's not the smartest cookie

It's absolutely ridiculous that he is critical of the press for writing about his life when he's doing the same about his friends and family.

Oh dear. He disrespected the judge yesterday because of his children. Then he goes and says that. He has neither respect nor humility.
What a shame judges can't do a slapdown. As someone said, Judge Judy should be doing this trial. He'd be weeping by now.

Steady! He is shining a light into disfunction and abuse. He is only being criticised because of racism in his choice of wife!

He is shining a light into disfunction and abuse.

what?! He’s gonna own up to bullying his staff and make it right?!

Interestingly, a guy who used to work for Hacked Off is advising on this case. And he says they expect that the evidence from each of these cases will influence the judge on the other cases. If that works out, Harry looks OK.

Or it could end up being the reverse and other plaintiffs are going to have to work extra hard to prove their cases because Harry's made such a hash of standing up his.

😂That seems to be the verdict from a certain thread about the same topic, running concurrently to this one 😑

The judge will decide. All we have to go on is the media reports - my thoughts are based on the Guardian reports. Which of course have their own bias.

William's alleged settlement was with NGN. I don't think the Mirror group has been specifically implicated in hacking any of the royal family before.

I wasn't aware there was another threadc, Elior, but just checked and see it descended into abuse very quickly and attracted many deletions and a warning from HQ ... so don't think I'll bother

You're absolutely right, Dolma - my mistake

He's 1½ days of 7 weeks of litigants. He didn't harm anyone's case although neither did he have a memorable moment. So I don't think he'll have made,an impact on the judge other than being a bit entitled and rude.

I don't object to parallel threads in general... 😂

I ignored it for a while. Then the accusations went too far...

Deja-vu

Yep!

Oh, I thought it was one case with multiple litigants!

im sure one of us is right

I completely agree with this.

I do actually feel sorry for him as he's permanently a victim in his own life and doesn't seem like he'll ever know true happiness.

Definitely
