A two-day hearing is set to begin on Tuesday in London’s Court of Appeal, as Harry challenges the government over his security protection in Britain.
A two-day hearing is set to begin on Tuesday in London’s Court of Appeal, as Harry challenges the government over his security protection in Britain.
A British regulator said it would examine concerns about Sentebale, the charity Harry co-founded, looking at its chair as well as its trustees.
Harry resigned from Sentebale, the charity he co-founded in memory of his mother, after a dispute erupted between the charity’s chair, Sophie Chandauka, and five of its trustees.
Sophie Chandauka said Harry quit as patron of the organization to damage it after failing to oust her from the role following a series of board conflicts.
The prince and his fellow patron, the prince of Lesotho, said they had resigned in solidarity with trustees at the charity, Sentebale.
Harry won an apology and damages from Rupert Murdoch’s U.K. tabloids. Could the lawsuit’s end also help heal the rift with his brother, William, and his father, King Charles III?
The case, which would represent the last major legal reckoning for victims and perpetrators of Britain’s phone hacking scandal, was adjourned until Wednesday.
Barring a late settlement, Harry’s lawsuit against News Group Newspapers will begin Monday, with potential consequences for the royal family, the media baron and even The Washington Post.
