Prince Harry is set to make a historic return to London's High Court next Thursday, as he provides evidence in a high-profile privacy lawsuit against the Daily Mail's publisher. This marks the second courtroom appearance for the Duke of Sussex in just three years.

Alongside Harry, notable figures such as singer Elton John are accusing Associated Newspapers of 30 years of unlawful information gathering. The publisher fiercely denies these allegations, dismissing them as "preposterous smears" by the claimants.

The nine-week trial commences on Monday with testimonies expected from Harry, John, and numerous other claimants. This case represents the final chapter in Harry and Meghan's legal battle against media organizations, a campaign aimed at reforming the British press.
