Here are some pictures of Prince Harry arriving in court today to testify against Mirror Group Newspapers. MGN's attorney threw a fit in court because Harry wasn't at court yesterday. I believe that the British media was convinced that Harry would appear, and all outlets had sent out photographers and videographers to stake out court. Harry's first court appearance was always scheduled for today, June 6th. These photos are hard to take - it was like a carnival with photographers and media outlets all vying for their shot of Harry. Many outlets broadcast live, as if it were the arrival of a monarch. Don't tell me Harry-arriving-at-court outsold the coronation?

It will be the very first time in over a century that a British royal/prince has appeared in court. Harry will tell how the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, and other tabloid media hacked his phone, stalked and paid off his girlfriends and made life hell for him since he was young. You can imagine that the Windsors support their British tabloid friends.

Page Six reported that Prince Harry's new courtroom drama will likely widen the gap between him, King Charles and Prince William. The prince, who has been a renegade for years, flew to London in order to testify in the Daily Mirror hacking trial. He is the first royal to ever give evidence before a court.

One highly-placed palace source responded: "I cannot imagine anyone being pleased" and added that they would be "privately bracing their selves."

A royal insider added: "Harry will see himself fighting their battle, too, in order to protect the reputation and the monarchy. In most cases, the royal family avoids confrontation with media. The litigation process is long. Not to mention, it is expensive and stressful. You never know what the other side will do or say.

Mirror Group Newspapers' (MGN) lawyer Andrew Green KC has already informed the court that the majority of stories about Harry were based on information provided by royal households and members of the Royal Family.

The royal insider added, "There is a very good reason for the royal family to feel uncomfortable."

Hugo Vickers, a noted writer and historian, pointed out that Harry would have to answer all questions under oath unlike his interviews with Oprah and Tom Bradby.

Vickers said to Page Six, "It makes it look like another circus." "He has time to come to England and cause trouble but not to see his family or try to resolve any major issues. He is also exposing himself to an aggressive council that will ask him many disagreeable questions, which he must answer.

From Page Six

The Windsors are amoral and morally bankrupt. They don't see tabloids as partners or part of their communication. The Mirror Group will be able to claim that the information they have comes from the palace and not hacking. This is the reason why the Windsors seem so "concerned". Their tabloid partners are unreliable. This: "He has time to come to England and cause trouble but not to see his family or try to resolve any major issues." - Charles fled the country to avoid Harry.
