A former lord chief justice has issued a stark warning against the personal attacks on judges after Prince Harry said his recent court defeat was "a complete and obvious whitewash".Lord Burnett of Maldon, who led the judiciary of England and Wales from 2017 to 2023, addressed the House of Lords on Thursday, declaring that such vilification "crosses the line into a direct assault on the independence of the judiciary".His intervention followed the Duke of Sussex's comments after losing his privacy battle with Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail.Harry, alongside six fellow claimants including Sir Elton John, had alleged that journalists and private investigators working for the newspaper group unlawfully gathered information about them through phone hacking, bugging and blagging.
