King Charles III’s youngest son Harry made a surprise decision about his royal title during his final appearance at the High Court in London.
The Duke was asked about his royal titles when he took the stand in his lawsuit against a British tabloid publisher on January 21. He testified for nearly two hours during the trial.
An interesting situation unfolded ahead of his testimony as the Duke and his legal team discussed how he should be charged in court.
David Sherborne, called Harry to the witness stand as his first witness, referring to him by the title he received from Queen Elizabeth on his wedding day in 2018.
After Prince Harry, 41, promised to tell the whole truth about a Bible, Sherborne said etiquette advised “you should be addressed as ‘Your Royal Highness’ and then ‘Sir’.
Harry replied that he was satisfied with what was used last time, probably referring to his testimony in the 2023 phone hacking case against Mirror Group Newspapersbut added that he could not remember what it was.
“I’m thinking ‘Prince Harry,'” said Sherborne, so they decided on that.
Harry and other plaintiffs’ complaint against ANL alleges that the publisher and its reporters used “illegal information-gathering techniques” to pry into his personal life.
But the publisher denied that their reporters were in some cases part of Harry’s inner circle.
