Prince Harry Arrives in the UK Ahead of High Court Battle
Prince Harry arrived in the United Kingdom earlier this week with a single purpose: to attend the opening of a High Court case that has taken years to reach trial. The Duke of Sussex returned to London as proceedings began at the Royal Courts of Justice in a lawsuit against Associated Newspapers Ltd., the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday.
The case centres on allegations that the publisher engaged in unlawful information-gathering practices, including phone hacking, the use of private investigators and other covert methods to obtain personal information. Associated Newspapers has denied all claims, stating that its reporting has always been carried out lawfully and within accepted journalistic standards.

Harry is one of several prominent claimants bringing the case. Others include Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish, actresses Elizabeth Hurley and Sadie Frost, former Liberal Democrat MP Simon Hughes, and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, a long-standing campaigner whose son Stephen Lawrence was murdered in a racist attack in 1993. The group argues that they were targeted through what they describe as intrusive and illegal practices, carried out over extended periods without their knowledge.
The trial is expected to run for up to nine weeks, according to court schedules, and will be overseen by Mr Justice Nicklin. Some of the allegations are said to date back to the late 1990s and early 2000s, a factor that has already raised complex legal questions around limitation periods and the availability of evidence. Harry’s legal team maintains that the methods allegedly used were deliberately concealed, preventing earlier challenges.
This case forms part of a broader pattern in Harry’s legal dealings with the British press. In 2023, he secured a High Court victory against Mirror Group Newspapers, where the court found evidence of unlawful information gathering and awarded damages. A separate claim against another publisher was later resolved through a settlement.
Together, these actions have positioned Harry as one of the most legally active public figures challenging historic tabloid practices in the UK.

Harry is expected to give evidence early in the proceedings. The trial will hear testimony from journalists, editors and investigators connected to the publications involved, with arguments likely to focus not only on individual incidents but also on newsroom culture and decision-making during the period in question.
Legal specialists say the case will be closely examined for its potential implications. Beyond the personal claims, it raises questions about how far courts are prepared to scrutinise past media conduct and how privacy laws apply to practices that were once widespread but are now heavily restricted.
Harry’s presence in London reflects the weight he attaches to the case. This is not a symbolic appearance or a brief return, but a deliberate engagement with a legal process that could influence how historic tabloid behaviour is assessed and challenged in the UK today.

Preparation for the role included rock climbing training, which Theron undertook for the first time specifically for the film. She described the experience as enjoyable, noting in an interview with PEOPLE that she had never climbed before except for trees during her childhood in Africa, adding, “It’s great. It’s so much fun.”
Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi were seen making out at Justin Bieber’s Coachella after-party, an account that has not been disputed. A People source later revealed that the pair had already been spending time together before the story became public. “They’ve been hanging out and getting to know each other the last couple months,” the source said.

They’ve known each other for years. Elordi was at Jenner’s birthday in 2022. Earlier this year, the two were spotted talking at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Kendall Jenner has never been someone who announces her relationships. She told Vogue Australia in 2019: “I personally think that bringing things into the public makes everything so much messier.” She dated Bad Bunny for most of 2023 before they split in December. Before him, it was Devin Booker for two years. Harry Styles and A$AP Rocky have also been linked to her.
In a past interview with Kourtney Kardashian’s platform Poosh, Jenner described herself as someone who knows immediately.

Elordi, however, is more private, with no social media presence and a history of keeping his personal life out of view. He was previously linked to Olivia Jade, Kaia Gerber, Zendaya and Joey King. Neither has said a word publicly. Reps for both did not respond to comment requests. At present, reporting is based on limited accounts, with details still being interpreted by those who witnessed the moment.
Zoë Kravitz was seen with her boyfriend Harry Styles in London on Sunday, April 19, with the actress wearing a large diamond ring on her left ring finger. The pair were seen together, stopping for coffee and sharing a kiss. While neither has publicly addressed the nature of their relationship, The appearance of the ring has sparked engagement speculation online.
For the outing, the pair kept things casual with Zoë Kravitz wearing a light grey trench coat paired with a baseball cap that read “Boy Next Door” and dark sunglasses while Harry Styles wore a navy jacket with blue denim and a baseball cap. They have been linked since August 2025, when they were first spotted together in Rome.

They were photographed the following month in New York City. An insider told PEOPLE they were seen having lunch with Kravitz’s father, rocker Lenny, adding that “everyone looked like they had a great time” and that she had also been introducing Harry to friends, noting that “this feels more than casual.” The insider also shared that the couple enjoys simple things, saying, “They just stroll around, meet up with friends and live a very relaxed life. They have great chemistry.” They have since been seen together in multiple cities.

In February, a source confirmed that Kravitz plans to join Styles on his upcoming Together, Together global residency tour, which begins in May and runs through the end of the year. The residency-style run, which will take him to multiple cities for extended stays, is in support of his upcoming album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.

The pair have not publicly defined their relationship and have not addressed the ring.
