Prince Harry, the rebellious second son of King Charles III who emigrated to the US with his wife Meghan after the traumatic breakup of the Royal Family in 2020, is surprisingly in London to attend a hearing in the trial resulting from a new legal action he has taken - this time along with other public figures and celebrities - against the privacy intrusions of the British tabloids.
The trial in question concerns Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), which publishes the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday, reported before the island's justice system for alleged "serious" illegal wiretapping in the context of a sort of class action brought the end of 2022 from half a dozen VIPs, including - in addition to Harry - the rock star Elton John.
For the Duke of Sussex, this is the first trip to the United Kingdom after the release of 'Spare' in recent months: an explosive bestselling autobiography not without embarrassing revelations about other members of the Windsor house, starting with his older brother and heir to the throne William , but also of his wife, Kate, of the queen consort Camilla and of Carlo himself.
However, the occasion could favor some meeting with family members, just over a month after the formal coronation of her father - who ascended the throne on 8 September 2022 upon the death of 96-year-old Elizabeth II - and of Camilla, scheduled for 6 May in Westminster Abbey: an event to which the Sussexes appear to have been invited, reserving an answer for now.
