Prince Harry returns to court for phone-tapping fight as King Charles visits Germany

Associated Newspapers Ltd is accused of having ‘concealed wrongdoing’ over the alleged unlawful gathering of private information

Prince Harry has returned to court for his ongoing case against the publisher of the Daily Mail, just as his father Charles visits Germany in his first overseas visit as King.

After missing the third day of the hearing, the Duke of Sussex reappeared at the High Court on Thursday as his lawyers resisted an “ambitious” and “unattractive” bid by the publisher to end the legal action.

Earlier in the day his father – who it was reported would not be seeing his US-based son during Harry’s surprise visit to the UK – gave a historic address to the German parliament.
