Buckingham Palace confirmed claims had been filed at the high court regarding alleged illegal interception of voicemail messages.
Prince Harry has issued legal proceedings against the owners of the Sun and the Daily Mirror over alleged phone hacking, in an escalation of his all-out war with the British newspaper industry.
