Prince Harry back in London for UK High Court fight

Other plaintiffs include John's husband, David Furnish, and actresses Liz Hurley and Sadie Frost, who was also in court. Harry sat near the rear of the court and took notes as attorneys discussed preliminary matters. Prince Harry alleges in a much-anticipated new memoir that his brother Prince William lashed out and physically attacked him during a furious argument over the brothers’ deteriorating relationship. In a new interview published after his tell-all memoir Spare, Prince Harry expresses concern about the futures of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s children.

As mentioned, it’s unclear whether Harry will have an opportunity to meet him with his father or brother; as King Charles and his wife, Queen Consort Camilla Parker Bowles, were due to travel to France but due to rioting over pension reforms, the trip was postponed.

The circus surrounding the royal’s arrival at the high court on the Strand in central London sometimes obscured what was actually going on in Court 76. During an exchange with attorney Sherborne, he suggested that if it did allow a trial, it would be "massive" and could last a "substantial period of time". The judge, Matthew Nicklin, said he would reserve judgment until a later date on whether the case should proceed to trial, and is not expected to rule for some weeks. On Wednesday, the couple also shared that they'd christened their daughter, Princess Lilibet Diana, confirming a change in her royal title, and an expected change for their son, Archie, as well. Lilibet was born last June in Santa Barbara, California, making her the first senior royal baby born in the U.S., and the first great-grandchild of the queen to be born outside of the U.K.
The Duke of Sussex sued the publisher in February over an article in the Mail on Sunday newspaper which alleged he tried to keep secret details of his legal fight with Britain's interior ministry to reinstate his police protection. Prince Harry and Elton John were in a London court Monday as the lawyer for a group of British tabloids prepared to ask a judge to toss the lawsuit they brought with several other high-profile people who allege phone-tapping and other invasions of privacy. Prince Harry lawsuit against newspaper publisher set for May trial Britain’s Prince Harry’s lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mirror newspaper over allegations of phone hacking will go to trial in May, a ... The attorney said in the statement that the private security team that the Sussexes pay for in the United States "cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed" in the U.K. The lawyer added, "In the absence of such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return to his home." There will be a high court hearing to review the duke's plea for police protection, the July 22 filing states.

Prince Harry’s memoir “Spare” arrives in bookstores on Tuesday, providing a varied portrait of the Duke of Sussex and the royal family. Beltrami said it was ironic Harry and  others claimed the publisher illegally obtained information about them from evidence that was supposed to have been kept private and, thus, was itself gathered in violation of the law. Harry’s presence at the High Court in London signals the importance of the case, one of several lawsuits the Duke of Sussex has brought in his battle against the press.
Harry's appearance at the courts on Monday began a privacy debate over the merits of the prince seemingly using his public profile to raise the media focus on the hearing. “With its raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief,” the publisher’s description reads. The lawsuit against MGN similarly alleges unlawful information gathering via phone hacking. Other claimants include former Girls Aloud band member Cheryl, the estate of the late singer George Michael, and ex-footballer and presenter Ian Wright. Monday’s lawsuit is one of three the Duke of Sussex has launched against British newspapers. An additional lawsuit filed in 2019 against Mirror Group Newspapers by several public figures including Harry will go to trial in May.
In September 2021, Harryfiled for a judicial review of a February 2020government decisionto deny him the taxpayer-funded security he lost access to after he and wife Meghan Markleannounced they were stepping downas senior members of the Royal family. Prince Harry photographed arriving at the Royal  Courts of Justice in London for the second day of his lawsuit against ANL, March 28, 2023. The day before, the prince bumped into a member of the press while using the court's main entrance.

"If the most influential and popular newspaper in the U.K. can evade justice without there being a trial of my claims, then what does that say about the industry as a whole and the consequences for our great country?” Harry’s witness statement reads. The Duke of Sussex arrived after lunch for the conclusion of a four-day High Court hearing on his invasion of privacy case against the company that publishes The Daily Mail. His presence during three days of the legal wrangling indicates the lawsuit’s importance in the prince’s broader battle against the British press. David Sherborne, a lawyer representing Harry and the  other claimants, earlier told the court that Harry would be "the only witness" relied upon in his case – raising the prospect of the prince entering the witness box to give evidence.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Did Get a Coronation Invitation—Via EmailAfter weeks of speculation, the couple’s spokesperson announced that King Charles had invited them to the coronation, but did not say whether they would attend. Speculation about whether Harry and or Meghan will attend the king's coronation ramped up after news broke that the couple had been asked to vacate their U.K. “I hacked, tapped and bugged Liz a number of times,” Burrows said in his earlier statement. "She was a huge earner for me. I could get an itemized phone bill for Liz and Hugh and sell each one for 5,000 pounds (about $6,185), much more than the average price on my menu." And Prince Harry is currently suing the ANL separately for defamation over a 2022 article about his security arrangements.
Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is one of several public figures whose lawsuits against Mirror Group Newspapers will be considered at a trial due to begin in May. Harry is fighting back against a 2020 decision by the government that denied his family police protection while in Britain after he and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, stepped down from roles as senior working roles. Since quitting their royal duties, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their family are no longer entitled to armed protection while in the UK. In an attempt to overturn this decision from February 2020, Harry has been pursuing a court case against the Home Office.
