Prince Harry Attends Preliminary Hearing in Lawsuit Against Daily Mail’s Publishers

Prince Harry recently made a trip back to London to attend a preliminary hearing in his lawsuit against Associated Newspapers Ltd. (A&L), the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday.

The Duke of Sussex is one of several high-profile figures taking legal action against A&L for unlawful information gathering, which the publisher denies.

During the hearing, Prince Harry gave a witness statement, claiming that journalists who used methods such as phone hacking were criminals.

However, it is unlikely that he met with any of his relatives during his visit, including his father King Charles III, who was in the country at the same time.

This has led to speculation about the state of their relationship.

According to Alexander Larman, author of The Windsors at War, this latest development in the rift between the Windsors is telling, suggesting that the monarch is indicating that there is no way back for his second son.

Christopher Anderson, author of The King, has claimed that Charles is still furious with Harry for the bombshell accusations made in his memoir, Spare.

The memoir contained a devastating portrayal of Charles' wife, Camilla, as a villainous schemer.

Anderson says that even if Harry wishes to reconcile ahead of the coronation, it is highly unlikely that he would get a warm reception, with Prince William having reportedly thrown up his hands in disgust over the situation.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has also weighed in, stating that Harry is not expected to see any of his family during this visit.

He believes that the rift between the Sussexes and the royal family runs deep and that there are no plans for a meeting.

Furthermore, Ingrid Seward, another royal author, believes that Charles has little reason to want a confrontation with Harry after his disloyalty to his family in his book, Spare.

Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles III was not in Windsor or London and was leaving for a state visit to Germany on the morning of Wednesday, March 29th.

The king and queen consort, Camilla, arrived in Berlin for their three-day trip, making their first overseas state visit of Charles' reign.

In his speech to the German parliament, Charles expressed gratitude for the warm wishes he received after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and emphasized the bond between the two countries.

The king also acknowledged the impact of the war in Ukraine and Germany's efforts to help with the humanitarian fallout of the conflict.

He spoke of his pride in being in Berlin to renew the special bond of friendship between our two countries and highlighted that the connection between the UK and Germany meant so much to my beloved mother.

The king's speech received an overwhelming standing ovation from the German parliament that lasted nearly 2 minutes.

Despite the positive reception, the absence of Harry during the state visit has only added fuel to the speculation surrounding the rift between him and his family.
