The trial will resume at 10.30am today, with Harry expected to arrive at court at 11am and give evidence at around 11.30am.
Earlier on Tuesday, David Sherborne, for the group of claimants, said that Harry feels he has “endured a sustained campaign of attacks against him” because he “had the temerity to stand up” to ANL.
He said: “In his witness statement for the trial, the Duke of Sussex speaks of the impact which this has had on him – the distress, the paranoia and the other feelings that it generated.
“But given what we’ve seen, is it any wonder that he feels that way, or as he explains, that he feels he has endured a sustained campaign of attacks against him for having had the temerity to stand up to Associated in the way that he has so publicly done.”
The barrister continued that the 14 articles involved in Harry’s claim, written between 2001 and 2013 “focus primarily and in a highly intrusive and damaging way, on the relationships which he formed, or rather tried to form, during those years prior to meeting his now wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex”.
