News of the World Royal editor Clive Goodman, aged 48,
from Putney, and Glenn Mulcaire, aged 35, of Sutton, south London,
have been charged with illegal interception of communications and
conspiracy offences.
Both were released on police bail pending a scheduled appearance
at Horseferry Road Magistrates Court, London, on 16 August.
The two were among three men arrested by police on Tuesday
following complaints from workers at the prince's official
residence, Clarence House. The third man was released without
charge.
Goodman and Mulcaire are jointly charged with eight counts of
unlawfully intercepting voicemail messages between 3 January and 30
May 2006, contrary to Section One of Regulation of Investigatory
Powers Act 2000. Both also face a separate conspiracy to intercept
communications charge.
Police searched a number of business premises as part of their
investigation, including the Wapping offices of the News of the
World.
