Hacking: Brooks 'Agreed Pay For Bikini Picture'

4,000 to a public official for a picture of Prince William dressed in a bikini at a Sandhurst party, a jury at the Old Bailey has heard.

The court heard that Brooks, then editor of The Sun, was asked to approve the payment in an email from her news editor who suggested the move could open the door to more Sandhurst exclusives, to which she is alleged to have replied "Okay".

It was claimed the picture was taken by Prince William's platoon commander in 2006, and another employee offered it to The Sun a few months later.

Royal communications secretary Patrick Harverson told the court of a phone conversation he had with Ms Brooks over a story about Prince Harry which appeared in The Sun.
