Morgan was editor of the Daily Mirror for nine years from 1995 until 2004, and has long denied any knowledge of phone hacking

Piers Morgan has said he was not aware of any phone hacking taking place whilst he was editor of the Daily Mirror. This comes after a High Court case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), brought by Prince Harry, began on Wednesday (May 10).

Lawyers argue that executives at the publisher failed to act despite having knowledge of widespread phone hacking. Speaking before the trial, Mr Morgan said: "I’ve never hacked a phone. I’ve never told anybody to hack a phone."
