Prince Harry has been at the High Court in London for the second-day running for a hearing into his latest legal battle.
He was seen entering the central London court just after 10am for the second day of a preliminary hearing in his claim against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL).
The duke waved as he turned up the Royal Courts of Justice shortly after 10am wearing a grey suit and a grey tie and carrying an umbrella.
He sat in the court to listen to proceedings and was later pictured leaving the court and walking to a waiting car following an afternoon break.
Harry made a surprise appearance at the court yesterday for the first day of the hearing, where he was snapped by waiting photographers as he left his car and entered the building. He stayed for the full day.
His current trip to the UK is believed to be the first time Harry has been back in the UK since the late Queen's funeral in September.
His surprise return comes nearly three months after he laid bare his troubled relationship with his father King Charles and brother Prince William in his controversial autobiography Spare.
The hearing, which began yesterday, was due to coincide with Charles and Queen Camilla's state visit to France, which was scheduled to start on Sunday but was shelved due to unrest in the country.
But according to the Telegraph, Harry is not expected to meet up with his father while in the UK - even though the King was informed of his visit - as he is "busy".
Buckingham Palace said the King was not in Windsor or London and would be leaving for a state visit to Germany on Wednesday morning.
The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are not currently in Windsor either because of the youngsters' school Easter holidays.
Harry and Meghan have been asked to vacate their UK home Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor estate, in a move sanctioned by the King, meaning Harry could spend some of his time packing up any remaining possessions.
The duke is also taking legal action against the Home Office over security arrangements when he is in the UK, raising questions about his own security provisions during this visit.
His visit also comes amid questions over whether he and wife Meghan Markle will be in the UK in just six weeks time to attend the Coronation of his father at Westminster Abbey.
Harry is among a number of high-profile individuals who have brought a case against Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers over alleged unlawful information-gathering at its titles.
At the High Court yesterday, the Daily Mail publisher was bringing a bid to end claims brought by people including Harry, Sir Elton John and Baroness Doreen Lawrence over alleged unlawful activity at its titles.
The group of high-profile individuals, also including Sir Elton’s husband David Furnish and actresses Liz Hurley and Sadie Frost, announced in October they were bringing claims for misuse of private information against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL).
The publisher hit back at the allegations, describing them at the time as "preposterous smears" and a "pre-planned and orchestrated attempt to drag the Mail titles into the phone-hacking scandal".
The four-day preliminary hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, which started yesterday, is set to include ANL's bid for the claims to be dismissed without a trial.
