Prince Harry is expected to testify in a U.K. court this week as the trial continues in his case against Britain's Mirror Group Newspapers, marking the first court appearance in modern times for a senior member of Britain's royal family.

Prince Harry is expected to testify in a U.K. court this week as the trial continues in his. It is the first of three cases Harry is involved in against U.K. tabloids, which the prince alleges spied on him for scoops. His court appearance and cross examination will be the first in modern times for a senior member of Britain's royal family.

Harry had been instructed to attend Monday's court proceedings, The Associated Press reported, but was not there. The AP quoted the prince's lawyer as saying Harry had flown out Sunday from Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and their children, after celebrating his daughter's birthday, and that he was scheduled to testify on Tuesday.

Harry's legal team had initially pointed to 144 newspaper articles that they said used unlawfully gathered information about him, but only 33 of those articles will be considered in the case resuming this week.
