Summary
The Duke of Sussex set out his case in a 55-page document, blaming the tabloid press for "inciting hatred and harassment" in his private life, and casting him as a "playboy prince" and a "thicko".
He also faced cross-examination from the newspaper's lawyer who questioned the prince's claims that information in the stories were obtained illegally.
On the Sky News Daily, Leah Boleto is joined by Sky's royal correspondent, Laura Bundock, outside the court in central London to go through the events of the day.
