Prince Harry will take to the witness stand Tuesday as his years-long battle against Britain’s tabloid media reaches its most dramatic stage so far
The royal is preparing to face questions in a London court as part of his case against a major newspaper publisher. The appearance of a British royal in a witness box will be an exceptionally rare event. But Harry has long railed against the tactics of the tabloid media in covering his life, and he will now have the opportunity to lay out his arguments, under oath, during cross-examination from MGN’s lawyers.
What will Harry say? When Harry enters the witness box on Tuesday he can expect a tough examination from the publisher’s lawyers. The prince alleges that about 140 articles published in titles belonging to the group contained information gathered using unlawful methods, and 33 of those articles have been selected to be considered at the trial, according to PA Media. It’s likely that details of those stories will be parsed over at great length.
