Prince Harry is poised to return to London's High Court next Thursday, taking the stand in a privacy lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mail. The case, which also includes celebrities like Elton John and Liz Hurley, highlights allegations of illegal information gathering by the publisher.

This legal battle marks Prince Harry's second court appearance in three years. He previously made history by becoming the first royal in over a century to give evidence, winning a separate lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers in 2023. Alongside Harry, six other high-profile individuals are seeking justice over claims of unlawful practices.

As the nine-week trial begins, the stakes are high. Associated Newspapers denies any wrongdoing, dismissing the accusations as baseless. A key development may involve former private investigator Gavin Burrows, who might testify about his prior statements concerning unlawful acts for the publisher.
