Prince Harry stepped into courtroom witness box Tuesday to hold Britain’s tabloid press accountable for its "destructive” role throughout his life. But he soon found himself being held to account by a newspaper's lawyer for how he could blame his anguish on articles he couldn't remember reading.

The Duke of Sussex became the first senior member of the royal family to testify in over a century as he held a Bible in his right hand and, in a soft voice, swore to tell the "whole truth and nothing but the truth” in the High Court in London.
