London CNN —Prince Harry will take to the witness stand Tuesday as his years-long battle against Britain’s tabloid media reaches its most dramatic stage so far. Another story discussed touched on the relationship between Harry and Prince William in 2003. Documents published in April as part of Harry’s lawsuit against NGN allege that the publisher privately reached an undisclosed settlement with Prince William over historical phone hacking claims. Officials at Kensington Palace, which represents Prince William, told CNN it does not comment on legal proceedings. Prince Harry states that his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, was aware of settlement talks.

The latest hearing in the Duke of Sussex’s case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) began Monday at the High Court.

In court documents published last month, the publisher did apologize for one instance of unlawful information gathering nearly 20 years ago. And while this is Harry’s first appearance in a court case against the British media, it may not be his last. Prince Harry states that his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, was aware of settlement talks.
