The timing of the announcement came just minutes after the Prince of Wales's brother, Prince Harry had finished giving evidence in his court case against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL).
This afternoon, the Duke of Sussex fought back tears as he accused ANL of making Meghan Markle's life an "absolute misery".
Harry, giving evidence in his legal battle against ANL, the Daily Mail's publisher, delivered an emotional statement about his wife.
"They continue to come after me, they have made my wife's life an absolute misery my Lord," Harry told the court.

The duke described the legal proceedings as "a horrible experience," adding: "It's fundamentally wrong to put us through this again when all we wanted was an apology and accountability."
Prior to his emotional closing remarks, the duke spent approximately two and a half hours under cross-examination from ANL's legal representative, before his own barrister David Sherborne asked him to reflect on how the process had affected him.
Harry is among several prominent figures pursuing legal action against ANL, with Sir Elton John, his husband David Furnish, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Sir Simon Hughes, Sadie Frost and Liz Hurley also named as claimants.

The group alleges that ANL obtained information through illegal methods, including intercepting phone communications and fraudulently acquiring private records.
ANL has firmly rejected all accusations of wrongdoing and continues to contest the claims.
Proceedings are scheduled to continue until March, when the trial is expected to conclude. A judgment will be delivered in written form at a subsequent date.
