Prince Harry is set to return to the UK next month for his seven-week trial against The Sun’s publishers, News Group Newspapers (NGN). The Duke of Sussex will make the journey solo, without Meghan Markle, to face legal proceedings regarding claims that the newspaper group illegally gathered his personal information, including through phone hacking.
According to The Express, Harry will appear in the High Court alongside Lord Tom Watson, the former Labour deputy leader. During the trial, Harry is expected to be cross-examined by NGN’s barrister. The Duke’s legal battle comes after allegations that News Group Newspapers unlawfully collected his private details, and Harry is seeking justice for these privacy violations.
Meanwhile, in a surprising development, The Time reported that Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has reached out to both Harry and Meghan with a peace offering. A source close to the situation shared that Kate, who has recently gained a new perspective on life following her own health struggles, wants to reconcile with Harry and Meghan.
“Kate just wants peace in her life and also wants the same for Prince William and Prince Harry,” the insider revealed. The source further explained that after a challenging year, including dealing with her own health issues, Kate is eager to start 2025 on a positive note.
“She’s very worried about what this long-running feud is doing to both of them,” the source said, adding that Kate has made the decision to reach out to Harry in hopes of healing the rift between them. Kate’s peace offering comes as Harry prepares for a high-stakes legal battle and continues to navigate the strained relationship with his family.
Despite the ongoing tension, it appears Kate is determined to lead by example and foster reconciliation within the royal family. As Prince Harry prepares for his trial, the royal family dynamic remains a focal point, with hopes for healing and peace continuing to shape the conversations surrounding the Sussexes and the wider royal family.
