Prince Harry to appear in court

6/6/2023 5:45

        Prince Harry will be ready to give evidence in a London court over his lawsuit against the publisher of a British tabloid, prompting the judge to say he was "surprised" by his absence on Monday.
        
        Harry, King Charles' younger son, had been expected to appear in court Monday and to be questioned in the witness stand from either Monday or Tuesday, becoming the first senior British royal to give evidence in court for 130 years.
        
        He is one of more than 100 other high-profile figures suing the Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), the publisher of the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and Sunday People, for alleged phone-hacking and other unlawful behaviour between 1991 and 2011.
        
        The trial began last month, as lawyers representing Harry and three other test claimants attempted to prove that unlawful information gathering was carried out with the knowledge and approval of senior editors and executives.
