History

Historical Context

Phone-hacking by News of the World began with the 2005 discovery that Prince William’s voicemails were accessed, prompting Met police to raid reporter Clive Goodman’s desk in August 2006 and seize 11,000 pages naming almost 4,000 potential victims, including royals. The scandal widened in July 2011 with the Milly Dowler revelations, leading to the 2011 Leveson Inquiry and renewed calls for stronger data-protection laws.
