Prince Harry is facing two major life events in the next week. On Saturday, he will sit in Westminster Abbey to watch his father formally be crowned as King Charles III. Then on Wednesday he begins the real business, when his phone-hacking case against the Mirror gets under way at the high court – setting up a showdown with his old enemy Piers Morgan.
Harry will become the first senior royal since the 19th century to give evidence in a courtroom, where he will be cross-examined on his allegations that he was the victim of illegal activity by the Daily Mirror – including when Morgan was editing the tabloid newspaper.
