Prince Harry To Make History With UK Court Testimony
1 min read
Prince Harry will become the first senior British royal to give evidence in court for more than a century when he testifies this week against a tabloid newspaper publisher for illegal information-gathering.
Banks of photographers and camera crews gathered on Monday outside London’s High Court, in anticipation of 38-year-old Harry’s arrival for opening speeches in his case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN).
His lawyer, David Sherborne, said Harry will not take the stand until Tuesday, as he had been celebrating his daughter Princess Lilibet’s second birthday and only arrived in the UK late Sunday.
King Charles III’s younger son and other high-profile figures allege that MGN Ltd engaged in illegal activities, including phone hacking, at its titles and are seeking damages.
The case is one of several that Harry has brought against British newspaper groups since stepping down from royal duties in early 2020 and relocating to the United States
