Prince Harry 'Feels Confident' as He Returns to UK for Legal Battle with Daily Mail

Prince Harry has returned to the UK to participate in a nine-week trial regarding his lawsuit against the publishers of the Daily Mail, accusing them of unlawful information gathering. He states he feels confident and ready for the legal battle, while the company vehemently denies the allegations. Other celebrities, such as Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley, are also involved in the case, with claims of phone hacking. This trial is a continuation of Prince Harry's series of legal disputes with the British press, which he has pledged to pursue to the end. He is expected to testify as the first witness, and a meeting with his father, King Charles, is considered unlikely as the King is in Scotland. Alongside the trial, the possibility of reinstating state security for Prince Harry during his visits to the UK is being considered. This could facilitate future trips with his children, as he has expressed concerns about their safety without state protection. Prince Harry's return to the UK has generated significant interest, marking a new phase in his conflict with British media and raising questions about his relationship with the royal family.
