Episode description

Prince Harry won, the press lost.

In a landmark court verdict, a high court judge on Friday ruled that phone hacking and other unlawful practices to obtain stories were "habitual" at the Mirror Group's newspapers.

The judge also said that senior executives at the company knew about these methods, as did Piers Morgan, who once edited the Daily Mirror.

Morgan has taken to the airwaves to once again deny.

Lewis asks what this ruling means for Harry, the royal family, the press and Piers Morgan himself. He talks to a lawyer representing the victims of phone hacking, a former Daily Mirror editor and a former phone hacker.
