    Ref the case for breach of privacy being brought against the MoS and Associated Newspapers, I see that the editor of the rag 2012-2018 was one Geordie Greig.

    He comes from a family of hangers on to the royal family.

    'Born 16 December 1960 in Lambeth, London, Greig is the son of Sir Carron Greig and Monica Stourton, granddaughter of the 24th Lord Mowbray, Segrave and Stourton. Members of his father's family have been royal courtiers for three generations — including his twin sister Laura, who was a lady-in-waiting to Diana, Princess of Wales. He attended Eton College and St Peter's College, Oxford.

    Greig began his career as a reporter for the Hitchin and Stevenage Comet freesheet group in North Hertfordshire before moving to the South East London and Kentish Mercury newspaper, then joining the Daily Mail and then Sunday Today. He moved to The Sunday Times in 1987, becoming Arts correspondent in 1989 and then its American correspondent based in New York in 1991. Greig returned to London in 1995 to become The Sunday Times Literary Editor and was then appointed editor of Tatler magazine in 1999.' etc etc
    [..]
    In March 2012, Greig became editor of The Mail on Sunday while remaining a director of Independent Print Ltd and The London Evening Standard. He succeeded Paul Dacre as editor of the Daily Mail in September 2018.'
