Prince Harry will not travel to London for the first day of his trial against Rupert Murdoch’s tabloid The Sun, refuting claims that he was set to receive "limited police protection" during his stay.

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
