Diana leaked phone numbers, journalist claims

By Agence France-Press in London | China Daily | Updated: 2014-03-15 08:03

Princess Diana leaked a royal phone directory to the now defunct News of the World tabloid, the paper's former royalty editor testified at a British phone-hacking trial on Thursday.

Clive Goodman said that Diana sent him the contacts book in 1992, the year she separated from her husband, Prince Charles.

"She was going through a very, very difficult time," Goodman told London's Old Bailey court, where he is on trial on suspicion of paying public officials for royal directories.

"She told me she wanted me to see the scale of her husband's staff and household, compared with others.

"She felt she was being swamped by people close to his household. She was looking for an ally to take him on - to show there were forces that would rage against him."

Goodman is accused of two counts of conspiring to commit misconduct in a public office while working at Rupert Murdoch's News of the World tabloid. He denies the charges.

The 56-year-old was previously jailed in 2007 for hacking into the phones of members of the royal household along with private investigator Glenn Mulcaire.

Goodman told the court on Thursday that he used so-called green books and internal telephone directories containing contact numbers for staff and senior members of the royal household as a basis for his stories.

Diana leaked phone numbers, journalist claims

Under questioning by his defense lawyer in his first day of testimony, Goodman denied paying for lists and said one green book was given to him in 1992 by Diana.

"That arrived at my office in Wapping with my name on it. She had a relationship with several journalists - Richard Kay at the Daily Mail, Martin Bashir of Panorama," Goodman told the court.

Three years later, Diana would open up to Bashir about the state of her marriage to Charles, in an explosive BBC interview that ultimately led to the royal couple's divorce the following year.

Diana, the mother of Princes William and Harry, was killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

Asked how he used the information in the royal directories, Goodman described one story he wrote about the flying of the flag at Buckingham Palace after Diana's death.

"People wanted the flag at half-mast but the palace got caught up in stuffy protocol because the Queen wasn't there," and refused to raise it, he told the court.

"Then a flag shot up a pole for about 20 minutes and then came down again. The palace said it was a mistake but we had a tip-off that it was a palace fireman who was so enraged."

Goodman said he used the green book to track down the fireman, who confirmed the story off the record.

Murdoch shut down the News of the World, a Sunday tabloid, in July 2011 following allegations of widespread phone hacking.
