Prince Harry has accused tabloid newspapers of hacking his voicemails when he was a teenager, saying it made him feel he "couldn't trust anybody".
In a witness statement released in his case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), he said the press had also cast him as a "cheat" and a "thicko".
Harry, who gave evidence in court, said he had played up to headlines when young, leading to a "downward spiral".
He claims journalists unlawfully gathered information, which MGN denies. By appearing in the witness stand, Harry has become the first senior royal to give evidence in a court of law since Edward VII in 1891.
