Prince Harry Attends Preliminary Hearing in Lawsuit Against Daily Mail Publishers

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, made a trip back to London for a preliminary hearing in his ongoing legal battle against the publishers of the Daily Mail.

However, it appears unlikely that he had any interactions with his family members during his visit.

Last Thursday, Prince Harry was spotted at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, where the preliminary hearing took place.

The case is against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), which owns and publishes the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday.

ANL denies any wrongdoing related to unlawful information gathering.

Prince Harry is just one of many high-profile figures who have taken legal action against ANL.

In his witness statement, Prince Harry condemned the actions of journalists who engaged in practices such as phone hacking, labeling them as criminals.

Interestingly, his appearance at the court coincided with King Charles III's historic speech to the Bundestag in Germany, marking his first overseas state visit as the reigning monarch.

Despite Prince Harry's return to the UK while his father was still there, reports suggest that the two did not meet.

Speculation about the state of their relationship has emerged as a result.

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

Christopher Anderson, author of The King, claims that Charles is still furious with Harry due to the bombshell accusations made in his memoir, Spare.

The memoir portrayed Charles' wife, Camilla, in a negative light, labeling her as a villainous schemer.

Anderson believes that even if Harry desires reconciliation before the coronation, he is unlikely to receive a warm reception, as Prince William reportedly expressed disgust over the situation.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams also weighed in on the matter, stating that Harry is not expected to have any contact with his family during this visit.

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

Furthermore, Ingrid Seward, another royal author, suggests that Charles has little reason to engage in a confrontation with Harry after the disloyalty displayed in his book, Spare.

Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles III was not in Windsor or London during Prince Harry's visit.

The king and his wife, Camilla, embarked on a three-day state visit to Germany, marking Charles' first overseas state visit as the monarch.

During his speech to the German parliament, Charles expressed gratitude for the warm condolences he received following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

He also emphasized the strong bond between the UK and Germany and acknowledged Germany's efforts to assist with the humanitarian fallout from the conflict in Ukraine.

Charles spoke of his pride in being in Berlin to renew the special bond of friendship between the two countries, emphasizing how much this connection meant to his beloved mother.

The king's speech received an overwhelming standing ovation from the German parliament, lasting nearly two minutes.

As for the future, it remains to be seen if any reconciliation will occur between Prince Harry and his family.

The situation seems complex, and only time will reveal the true outcome.
