Prince Harry v Daily Mail latest: Sadie Frost faces questions on two-year-old daughter finding ecstasy pill

Questioning moves to comments Sadie Frost herself provided to the press.

Antony White, representing ANL, pulls up an article published in The Observer on 6 February 2005, where the actress spoke about many aspects of her life including her previous relationships and her experience of post-natal depression.

“I was trying to say nice things after something that had been so horrible throughout my life,” she says. “I wasn’t saying intimate details.”

Although the article included reference to post-natal depression, Frost says she was “trying to be positive”.

“[My] post-natal depression was very severe and I was in hospital a lot,” she tells the court.

“I was also trying to be helpful to women, there was a big stigma against post-natal depression… I think I was one of first people where so much had happened with it.

“I did speak about it, I was trying to maybe be positive.”

Frost adds that it was “my life to speak about”.

She later repeats that she felt there was a price on her head after the “Iris incident” (see 11.08 post), and that “a lot of damage” had been done to her reputation.

Her own comments to the press were a way to “control my own narrative than have the press tell lies”, she tells the court.
