Phone hacking trial: Kate Middletons name found in Glenn Mulcaire list Phone-hacking trail: the name of the Duchess of Cambridge, then Kate Middleton, was found in a note written by a News of the World investigator. Kate Middletons name was found in a handwritten note by Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator employed by News of the World who hacked phones of public figures and celebrities, the Old Bailey has been told. The prosecution showed the jury in the phone-hacking trial a note on Tuesday morning that was seized by police from Mulcaires premises in 2006 titled Target evaluation, with a list of 18 names. The first name was PR agent Max Clifford but the list also included Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge. Other names on the list included Sven-Goran Eriksson, Boris Johnson, David James, Kerry Katona, Tom Parker Bowles and the former Sky presenter Andy Gray. The court was discussing evidence in relation to the alleged hacking of the phones of Delia Smith and a stunt double used by Angelina Jolie and did not make any further reference to Middleton. Others on the list included Helen Asprey, now personal private secretary to Prince Harry; Jamie Lowther Pinkerton, former private secretary to Prince William; and a friend of Prince Harry, Mark Dyer. Also featured were model Abi Titmuss and the chief executive of the Professional Footballers Association, Gordon Taylor. Earlier on Tuesday the jury was told that Smith had been targeted by Mulcaire following an incident at Norwich football ground when she made an announcement over a tannoy. It was later alleged in the media that she was drunk. Eunice Huthart worked as a stunt double for Jolie during the making of the Hollywood film Mr and Mrs Smith, where the actor met Brad Pitt, the court heard. In a statement read to the court, Huthart, who became a stunt actor after appearing on the ITV show Gladiators, said in 2005 she was living in Los Angeles and shared a house with Jolie. It was well reported in the media that we were good friends, the statement said. Huthart said she had experienced difficulties with her mobile pin number not working and being unable to access her voicemails. Her statement added: I had a number of conversations with Vodafone and being frustrated about why my pin number didnt work. The court heard Hutharts details were found in Mulcaires notebooks, and phone records showed he had accessed her UVN – unique voicemail number – on four occasions. Mulcaire pleaded guilty to charges related to phone hacking earlier this year in proceedings that were first reported when the trial opened in late October. The trial continues.
