Prince Harry arrives at High Court for phone-tapping and privacy case
Prince Harry has arrived at the High Court for the final day of a preliminary hearing in a privacy battle against Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL).
The Duke of Sussex was pictured entering the building’s side entrance at around 1.45pm on the fourth day of the hearing, during which ANL is hoping to have the claims dismissed without a trial.
Earlier this week, Harry accused the royal family of “without doubt” withholding information from him “for a long time” about phone hacking as they did not want to “open a can of worms”, the High Court heard earlier this week.
The allegation emerged in a witness statement submitted by the Duke of Sussex in the high-profile case, which he is bringing alongside Sir Elton John, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, and others.
Meanwhile, the King has become the first British monarch to address German politicians from the Bundestag, while the parliament is in session, during his historic state visit to the country.
Charles has delivered a speech that will celebrate the deep historical bonds and longstanding links between Germany and the UK.

UK’s friendship with Germany ‘meant so much to my beloved mother’, says Charles
King Charles spoke earnestly of late Queen Elizabeth II’s affection for Germany during his historic address to the Bundestag on Thursday.
“This friendship meant so much to my beloved mother, the late Queen, who often spoke of the 15 official visits she made to Germany, including her five state visits,” he said.
“The first of those, in 1965, came when our continent was still deeply scarred by war, and the trauma of conflict. Hers was the wartime generation, and like my father, the Queen had served in uniform.
“That my parents’ 11-day tour of Germany should prove to be a pivotal moment in the reconciliation between our nations was, therefore, a matter of great personal significance to them both.
“My mother understood the immense achievement that reconciliation represented, and in returning to Germany time and again, she was determined to play her own part. It is, perhaps, for this reason that Her late Majesty won a particular place in the affection of the German people.”

Camilla pays subtle tribute to Elizabeth II
The Queen Consort wore a tiara once owned by the Queen Mother and a brooch bearing the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as she attended a state banquet in Berlin last night.
Camilla, sporting a black evening gown studded with silver embroidery, arrived at the Schloss Bellevue residence wearing the Boucheron tiara given to her by the late monarch. She also wore the Queen’s fringed diamond necklace, offered to her as a wedding present in November 1947.
The Queen’s Family Order, the sovereign’s highest personal order of merit, was pinned to Camilla’s left shoulder. It features a hand-painted miniature of the young Queen set in platinum.
