Prince Harry to testify against British tabloid publisher

The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex will become the first royal since 1890 to take the stand in a court case, when he testifies against Mirror Group Newspapers Ltd.

Photographers and television camera crews had gathered since early morning to await his arrival but he said nothing to reporters after stepping out of a black SUV. At the start of the trial on May 10, MGN apologised and admitted to"some evidence" of unlawful information gathering, including for a story about Harry.But it denied voicemail tapping and also argued that some claims had been brought too late.

In court filings unveiled in April, Harry claimed the royal family as an institution had struck a"secret agreement" with one UK publisher that had prevented him from suing, to avoid a royal entering the witness box. They include joint legal action against Associated Newspapers , publisher of the Daily Mail, over alleged breaches of privacy.
