In less than a month, this is the second time that Prince Harry has been forced to separate from his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children to travel to the United Kingdom.
On this occasion, his presence in London was due to the need to attend the hearings of his trial against the British press.
It should be recalled that Prince Harry has filed a lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers for illegal eavesdropping, generating an uproar both nationally and internationally, putting in the spotlight the journalistic ethics and the methods used to obtain information about his personal life.
Where did Prince Harry stay on his last visit to the UK?
During the first week of June, Prince Harry was obliged to stay in the UK to testify as a witness in his trial, which aroused curiosity about his accommodation during those days.
The answer is simple: the Duke of Sussex has been staying at his residence in the country, Frogmore Cottage, which is still available when the Sussexes visit the UK.
However, it should be noted that this property was ordered to be vacated by the order of King Charles III a few months ago, as he has other plans for it.
Harry’s father intends to grant Frogmore Cottage to Prince Andrew and thus allow him to leave Royal Lodge, his current residence.
During his recent trip to the United Kingdom for the coronation ceremony of Charles III, Prince Harry opted not to stay for the family celebrations at Buckingham Palace.
Instead, he headed straight from Westminster Abbey to the airport to catch a flight to take him as soon as possible to Montecito, where he wanted to be present for his son Archie’s birthday.
Although, according to a journalistic investigation published by the Telegraph, it suggests that Harry may have left Westminster Abbey, spent a few hours at Buckingham Palace, and then decided to spend the rest of the day in a suite near the runway where his plane would depart hours later.
The Duke of Sussex reportedly could have flown to the United States on Sunday, May 7 instead of Saturday, May 6.
Prince Harry’s lawsuit against the British Press
According to a source close to Prince Harry, his lawsuit against the media “is not seeking financial gain or public apologies, but to change the way the tabloid press operates.”
Furthermore, this source claims that Prince Harry firmly believes that his phone was hacked and that he has reason to believe so, considering that the Mirror group has previously admitted to tapping phones. For him, everything points towards the possibility of a hack.
Despite his father’s advice, Prince Harry confronted the press and took legal action against the British media. According to sources close to Buckingham Palace, the royal family fears that this legal battle will not end well.
However, Harry is determined and committed to his mission to bring about a change in the way royals are treated by the media. In his own words, this legal fight is the only way to stop the abuse, intrusion, and hatred directed at him and his wife.
