Prince Harry’s high-profile privacy case against the publisher of the Daily Mail is set to wrap up, with closing arguments presented at London’s High Court.

Prince Harry and other claimants, including Elton John, have accused Associated Newspapers of unlawful information gathering, including phone hacking and use of private investigators.

The defence has denied all allegations, arguing that the reporting was based on legitimate journalism. The judge also cautioned against shifting the burden of proof onto journalists to explain sourcing from years-old articles.

The trial, which has run for weeks, is expected to conclude soon, with a judgment to be delivered at a later date.
