...and what I saw in the witness box has convinced me it’s now time for the King to take a stand, writes veteran royal commentator Robert Jobson

Prince Harry leaves court after giving evidence in MGN battle

After more than a day and a half in the witness box, his courtroom ordeal was finally over. “How has that made you feel?” his barrister, David Sherborne, asked sympathetically. Harry puffed out his cheeks and replied, emotionally: “It’s a lot.”

This was, in fact, only round one of the prince’s egocentric battle to reform what he insists is wrong with the free press in Britain. According to Harry, his father, King Charles, has described this quest as a “suicide mission”.

After becoming the first senior royal to give evidence in court for more than a century, it wasn’t quite as bad as that. But unlike when the future King Edward VII took to the stand in what became known as the royal baccarat scandal, there is a lot at stake.

His downfall was closely tied to a disastrous television interview, where he tried to justify an acquaintance with the convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, and he attempted to discredit alleg...

Royal succession crisis prince William's heir decisions The British royal family has encountered yet another twist in its storied history as Prince William, second-in-line to the throne, has opted to leave his father, King Charles, without a direct heir to the throne. This significant decision has ignited widespread discussion and speculation about the future of the monarchy and its enduring legacy. Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, has long been under pressure to produce an heir to the throne. As the eldest son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, the spotlight has perpetually shone on William, expecting him to carry on the line of succession.
