Now, alongside other claimants, including Elton John and the actor Liz Hurley, Harry is suing the publishers of the Daily Mail newspaper for alleged privacy invasions, including bugging phone lines and obtaining personal health records.

Sophie Kinsella, whose real name is Madeline Sophie Wickham, sold more than 45 million copies of her books around the world.

Dubbed the Queen of Romantic Comedy, she first wrote novels under her real name before publishing her Shopaholic series under the Kinsella pseudonym.

Like the main character, Kinsella started out as a financial journalist before becoming an author.

She once said the inspiration for her best-selling series was how shopping had become a pastime and nobody had written about it.

The first two shopaholic books were adapted into Hollywood films starring Isla Fisher.

She went on to write 10 shopaholic novels in total.

Her most recent novella, What Does It Feel Like?, was a semi-fictional account of her cancer diagnosis.
