Duke back in High Court for battle with Rupert Murdoch's media empire - Prince Harry is suing the publisher of The Sun newspaper over claims his privacy was unlawfully breached

Prince Harry will not attend the first day of his trial against News Group Newspapers (NGN) in London tomorrow, whilst being scheduled to testify in February. The Duke of Sussex's absence from the High Court proceedings comes as his legal battle against the publisher of The Sun continues to unfold.

Prince Harry's hotly anticipated lawsuit trial against a British tabloid publisher alleging it carried out unlawful information gathering will start Tuesday, after years of legal wrangling during which dozens of other claimants settled.

The trial of the Duke of Sussex's case against the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid 'The Sun' is set to begin in front of a judge in London on Jan. 21
