Prince Harry due to give evidence in Mirror Group phone hacking trial – live

Duke of Sussex, one of numerous claimants, expected to speak at the High Court after failing to appear on Monday

Prince Harry might be bracing himself for a light wrap on the knuckles from the judge, Mr Justice Fancourt, who expressed frustration on Monday that the duke was not in court in person.

The Duke’s barrister, David Sherborne, explained that Harry was not in court on Monday because he had been in Los Angeles until late Sunday to celebrate his daughter’s 2nd birthday party.
