Prince Harry could receive a major legal update during his expected visit to the UK, with a ruling in his privacy case against the publisher of the Daily Mail due in the coming days.
The Duke of Sussex is one of several high-profile claimants pursuing legal action against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), alleging unlawful information gathering over a number of years.
A decision in the case is expected on July 7, a date that coincides with Harry's anticipated return to England. Reports in June suggested the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were planning to travel to the UK with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, for a family visit.
Harry is among seven well-known figures bringing claims against ANL, including singer Elton John, actress Elizabeth Hurley and actress Sadie Frost.
The claimants allege that the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday obtained personal information through unlawful means and used it in stories published between the 1990s and 2011.
Associated Newspapers has strongly denied the allegations, insisting its journalists gathered information through lawful and legitimate methods.
According to Reuters, the case carries significant financial implications for both sides, with legal costs expected to reach tens of millions of dollars. The losing party would be responsible for covering the majority of those costs.
The ruling is expected to mark another significant chapter in Prince Harry's long-running legal battles with the British press.
