Princess Diana leaked information about the Prince of Wales to "an ally" in the press in order to "take on" her estranged husband, former News of the World reporter Clive Goodman told the phone hacking trial.
Princess Diana leaked a confidential book of royal directories to Clive Goodman to show the "scale of her husband's household", the trial into phone hacking heard today.
The then Princess of Wales had a "very close relationship" with a number of journalists, Mr Goodman told the Old Bailey.
He added that Diana told him she wanted me to him to see the leaked directory because she "wanted me to see the scale of her husband's household compared to hers".
The ex-News of the World chief texted former PM Tony Blair saying she was 'feeling properly terrified' the day before the police interview.
In contrast to yesterday's cool performance, the former editor broke down whilst giving evidence in her phone-hacking trial.
Tony Blair advised Rebekah Brooks how to shield James Murdoch from the fallout of the phone-hacking scandal, the Old Bailey heard today.
