Piers Morgan's Forceful Response to Judge and Prince Harry Following Hacking Judgment

Piers Morgan has adamantly denied ever being involved in phone hacking, following a High Court ruling that he knew about hacking at the Daily Mirror. The court accepted that Morgan was aware of the illegal practice for at least one piece while he was the editor. This was backed by evidence from royal author Omid Scobie.

The judgement against Mirror Group Newspapers resulted in Prince Harry being awarded approximately £140,000 for the intrusion into his private life. Although the court found evidence of unlawful news gathering, Morgan maintains that he had no knowledge of the methods used to obtain a story about Kylie Minogue during his tenure.

From his London residence, Morgan refuted the claims, highlighting his long-standing assertion of innocence and the lack of concrete evidence against him. Past TV interviews have shown Morgan discussing the hacking of celebrities' voicemails, but he claims he was neither asked to be a witness nor to provide a statement during the legal proceedings.

Morgan criticized the credibility of Scobie and former journalist Alastair Campbell, who both gave evidence against him, labeling them as liars with personal vendettas. Morgan also attacked Prince Harry's character and accused him of trying to undermine the British monarchy, vows to oppose his efforts.
