The Phone-Hacking Trial That Will Outlive Us All spares no one. It does not care who you are or how you've reformed or what your intentions may have been-it will lay you out to dry regardless.

Yesterday, the focus of the proceedings turned to the Cinnamon Prince himself-who is currently in the midst of something of an image rehabilitation effort, now painted as a doting, mature boyfriend. An e-mail written by former News of the World royal reporter Clive Goodman in March 2006 was read to the court, in which Goodman revealed that Harry would drunk-dial girlfriend-at-the-time Chelsy Davy. "She gets calls from him and he's completely not in a good condition . . . piss ups," the e-mail read. Harry would also, per Goodman's missive, "shout affections to [Davy] down the phone."

Meanwhile, in further revelations from the stash of micro-cassettes retrieved from the home of private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, a prank voicemail that William left for Harry was read, in which William said-in a female voice-"Hi, it's Chelsy here. You're the best looking ginger I've ever seen . . . You big hairy fat ginger." (We would love to see video footage of the faces of the serious courtspeople in the room when this was being read.)

Wherever she is right now, Chelsy Davy no doubt just cancelled her plans for the rest of the week, turned on some Adele, and spiked her coffee with some whiskey.
