Reporter admits tapping royal phones

A New of the World reporter - the country's most popular Sunday newspaper, which has a circulation of more than three million, and is owned Rupert Murdoch - pleaded guilty on Wednesday to plotting to tap the telephones of the British royal family, reports Reuters.

"Royal correspondent Clive Goodman was facing charges at the Old Bailey of unlawfully intercepting communications in Prince Charles' household.

... The latest charges were brought after police said they had received complaints from three members of Charles' staff who suspected someone was listening to the voicemail on their mobile phones."
