Wait, what?! Prince Harry has returned home!

The last time he was in the UK, it was for his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September and the reason Prince Harry was in London is, once again, not for a happy reason.

K.J. Yossman Prince Harry unexpectedly arrived at the U.K. High Court on Monday morning in support of his privacy claim against Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers. The British royal, who himself published a loquacious memoir earlier this year, is among a group of public figures suing Associated over what they claim is “misuse of private information.” As well as Prince Harry, the group includes Elton John, producer David Furnish, actors Elizabeth Hurley and Sadie Frost, former politician Simon Hughes and campaigner Baroness Doreen Lawrence of Clarendon. Asserting the limitation period has expired, Associated have applied to have the case thrown out via summary judgment which is what this week’s four-day hearing is about. If that fails, they have also asked the court to strike out parts of the group’s claims, which they say contravene orders from the Leveson Inquiry (a long-running public inquiry into the practices of the British press.)
