Lilibet, the daughter Harry shares with wife, Meghan Markle, celebrated her second birthday on Sunday, June 4.
#DAILY MIRROR MEGHAN MARKLE TRIAL#
Harry’s travel for the trial marks his third trip to the UK so far this year, and he quickly returned home after King Charles’s coronation last month so he could celebrate his son Archie’s fourth birthday. At the start of the trial last month, MGN apologized for one specific time the People had illegally sought information about Harry, but denied that there was evidence to suspect the practice was widespread. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have moved out of their U.K. “It is the use of these methods by a national media group that has brought him here, not some vendetta against the press generally.”Ī lawyer representing MGN, Andrew Green, replied that Harry’s allegations regarding voicemail messages is speculation without evidence. “Nothing was sacrosanct or out of bounds, and there was no protection from these unlawful information-gathering methods,” he added, pointing to stories about Princess Diana. Sherborne noted that roughly 2,500 stories about Harry had run in MGN titles during the period his allegations cover.
The prince is one of a handful of plaintiffs who will be heard over the course of the trial.
Harry has alleged that 140 articles published by the three newspapers between 19 were obtained using illegal information-gathering tactics, and 33 of those articles were selected for examination in the case. The suit against the newspaper group, which owns the the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, and Sunday People, is one of multiple cases that the prince is pursuing against publishers over allegations of illegal information gathering. “His travel arrangements are such and his security arrangements are such that it is a little bit tricky,” he added, per Reuters. Harry’s lawyer David Sherborne told the High Court that his client had flown from the US on Sunday night, and was unable to make it to court. “I’m a little surprised,” the judge said.
According to the New York Post, Judge Timothy Fancourt had instructed him to appear. On Tuesday, Prince Harry is expected to become the first senior royal to testify in court in more than a century, but when the high-profile trial regarding his suit against Mirror Group Newspapers continued on Monday morning, the prince wasn’t in the courtroom.
