Prince Harry to testify in Daily Mail lawsuit
Prince Harry and other famous people like Elton John are suing the company that owns the Daily Mail newspaper.
They say the company did bad things to get information about them for 30 years.
The trial starts on January 15, and Prince Harry will talk in court on January 22.
The company says they did nothing wrong and calls the claims silly.
This is the last lawsuit Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have against British media companies.
Harry has done this before in another lawsuit in 2023.
The court will decide if the claims are true.
Prince Harry and six others, including Elton John, are suing Associated Newspapers over alleged unlawful information gathering.
The nine-week trial begins on January 15, with Harry testifying on January 22.
Associated Newspapers denies any wrongdoing, calling the claims 'preposterous smears'.
This is Harry's second court appearance in three years, following a 2023 lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers.
The case is the last outstanding lawsuit brought by Harry and Meghan against British media organizations since 2019.
