Prince Harry is due to become the first senior royal to give evidence in a court case in more than 100 years but will not be available when the judge requested.
The Duke of Sussex is expected to become the first senior royal since 1891 to give evidence in a court case on Tuesday, June 6.
Prince Harry arrives at the Royal Courts of Justice, in London, on March 30, 2023, for a lawsuit against Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail. He was scolded by the judge in a separate case against Mirror Group Newspapers after not attending when asked.Explaining the duke's absence, David Sherborne, Harry's attorney, told the court:"The Duke of Sussex is attending tomorrow to give evidence. He flew yesterday evening from Los Angeles.
However, Fancourt said he was"a little surprised" and suggested it was always a possibility there would be time to begin Harry's evidence on Monday:"That's why I directed that the first witness should be available. It's a matter for the defendant whether they open [make an opening speech] at all.
