London | Prince Harry will become the first senior British royal to give evidence in court for more than a century when he appears on Tuesday in his lawsuit against a publisher whose titles he accuses of phone hacking and other unlawful activities.

Harry, the fifth-in-line to the throne, failed to show up as expected on Monday at London’s High Court where he and more than 100 others are suing Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), the publisher of the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and Sunday People, over allegations of widespread wrongdoing between 1991 and 2011.
