Intimate voicemail messages left by Prince William for Kate Middleton were recovered at the homes of a private eye and a reporter at the News of the World after his then girlfriend's mobile phone was hacked, an Old Bailey trial has heard. Prosecutors in the phone-hacking trial read out transcripts of voice messages left by Prince William on the phone, calling her "baby," "honey" and "babykins." The revelation at the trial is the first time it has emerged that the phone of Ms Middleton - now the Duchess of Cambridge - was accessed by the Murdoch-owned and now-defunct News of the World. The trial was told that the transcripts of recordings of the messages were recovered from the homes of the private investigator Glenn Mulcaire and Clive Goodman, the tabloid newspaper's royal editor. In one message recovered, Prince William said: "Hi baby, it's me. I think I missed you by about 10 minutes. . . Keep your phone on for at least another 25 minutes or so, unless you're out and about having fun, which I think you are, in which case, don't worry, but, um, yeah, I had a busy day today again. I've been running around the woods of Aldershot chasing shadows and getting terribly lost, and I walked into some other regiment's ambush, which was slightly embarrassing because I nearly got shot - not by live rounds but by blank rounds, which would be very embarrassing, though. The prince then said in the message, read out to the court: "I probably won't be able to speak to you tomorrow night. I might send a cheeky text message, "cos I might have my phone with me. But, um, otherwise, baby, um, do try and ring me as soon as you can in the next sort of 25 minutes or so, otherwise, um, have a good night, and I'll speak to you later. All right, baby, lots of love, Um, speak to you soon. Bye bye. An email was later sent by Mr Goodman proposing a story about how the prince had almost got shot on a training exercise, and an article reporting on "William shot in military ambush" later appeared in the Sunday paper's Blackadder column in 2006, prosecutors have claimed. In a second message on Ms Middleton's phone, left by Prince William and seen by the jury, the heir to the throne refers to Ms Middleton as "babykins." In a third message left by the prince and recovered from the home of Mr Goodman, the prince said: "Lovely to speak to you." He went on to talk about going beagling. An email was sent by Mr Goodman to a colleague, saying the prince was out beagling on leave from Sandhurst. A further voicemail from Prince William - left on his girlfriend's phone and saying, "Hope that's all right, baby. Can't wait to see you. Lots of love and I'll speak to you later" - was recovered from Mr Mulcaire's home address. A voicemail message to Prince Harry was also recovered by police, in which an unidentified male voice, pretending to be his then girlfriend Chelsy Davy, described the prince as "the best-looking ginger I've ever seen, although you really are quite ugly for a ginger." Mr Goodman and Andy Coulson - the tabloid's former editor who went on to be head of communications for the prime minister - are accused of two counts of conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office. The jury also heard prepared statements read to police during interviewing of Rebekah Brooks, another defendant and a former chief executive of News International, in which she robustly denied any wrongdoing She faces five charges including one of conspiracy to intercept voicemail messages and two counts of conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office. In one statement made to police in March 2012 and read to the jury, Ms Brooks said: "I categorically deny the allegation you have put to me that I was involved in a conspiracy to make corrupt payments to the serving member of the armed forces or the employee of the MoD." In a second statement made to police during a later interview in October 2012 she said: "I have never knowingly authorised a corrupt payment to a serving police officer." She added in the statement that was read to the court: "I have never had a serving police officer as a paid source, and as editor of the Sun and the News of the World I never sanctioned either explicitly or implicitly corrupt payments to serving police officers." In another statement made to police in July 2011 and read by prosecutors, Ms Brooks said that as editor of the News of the World, "I did not ask any news editors if illegality had been involved in obtaining stories, as the assumption was that there were not." She also said she was not aware of the private eye Mr Mulcaire until his 2006 arrest. The trial, due to last six months, continues.
