Prince Harry has returned to the High Court just one day after his team mocked the “weakness” of Associated Newspapers Limited’s cross-examination.
The Duke of Sussex made his way back to the Royal Courts of Justice this morning, arriving at 10.00am to demonstrate solidarity with his fellow claimants in their lawsuit against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL).
Harry, 41, is attending the fourth day of proceedings not to give further testimony himself, but to show support as the trial progresses beyond his own evidence.
Liz Hurley arrived at court this morning alongside her son, Damian Hurley.
Ms Hurley became very emotional in the witness box, crying as she was shown some of the articles relating to her claim.
The actress said she did not need a break, but took a moment to compose herself, wiping her eyes and nose with a tissue.

Following his third day in court, Prince Harry declared: "Today we reminded the Mail Group who is on trial and why."
A spokesman for the Duke offered a sharper assessment, stating: "Today's cross-examination was revealing in its weakness: assertive in tone, but collapsing immediately under scrutiny from Prince Harry.

Proceedings are scheduled to continue until March, when the trial is expected to conclude.
