Kate Moss, Joanna Lumley, Jude Law, Sienna Miller and Will Young were named as some of the victims of phone hacking as Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson went on trial.
Royal Lord Frederick Windsor and Princes William and Harry's former private secretary Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton also had their voicemails hacked, prosecutors claim.
Former Labour deputy prime minister Lord Prescott, ex-cabinet colleague David Blunkett and MP Tessa Jowell were some of the politicians who were targeted, the court heard.
Prosecutor Andrew Edis QC told jurors they would today be given further information about some of the figures who were hacked, including details about how 13 recordings of Lord Windsor's voicemails were recovered during the police investigation.
Meanwhile, there is evidence that the voicemail of Mr Lowther-Pinkerton - recently named as one of Prince George's godparents - was listened to from a News International phone line, Mr Edis said.
The phones of murdered schoolgirl Millie Dowler and Louise Woodward, the British nanny convicted of killing a child in the United States in the 90s, were also hacked, the court heard.
The news that Miss Dowler's mobile had been intercepted by journalists resulted in the closure of the News of the World in 2011. Jurors were told that private detective Glenn Mulcaire has already admitted phone hacking, as have three former News of the World journalists; Greg Miskiw, Neville Thurlbeck and James Weatherup.
Mr Edis said that when Mulcaire was arrested in August 2006, "thousands of pages of manuscript notes" where found in his premises going as far back as May 2001, when there was an entry relating to pop singer Young.
Describing them as a "hacking narrative", he said the documents contained information about victims' pin numbers, UVN (unique voicemail numbers) and DDN (direct dial numbers), which would be used to intercept the phones.
