During the first day of the trial, Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) issued an apology to the Duke of Sussex for their unlawful information gathering practices, assuring him that such actions would not be repeated.
However, recent events have unfolded in the case, and according to royal expert Daniela Elser, writing in her column for News.au.com, these lawsuits will create a major headache for the newly crowned King Charles.
Elser describes the potential courtroom drama, stating, "With Harry taking the witness stand, there is a high chance of fireworks that will surpass any Jubilee celebration or the triumph of the late Queen's favorite racehorse." This revelation, as per NGN's lawyers, suggests that some of the stories published on the front pages of the Mirror may have originated from Mark Bolland, who served as Charles' Deputy Private Secretary at the time.
The royal expert points out that it has been a turbulent ride for Buckingham Palace so far, but things could become even more nerve-racking next month when Prince Harry, Charles' younger son, becomes the first senior member of the royal family to testify in a court case in the past 130 years. Elser notes that the ongoing trial has already unveiled numerous embarrassing details, including Prince William's secret settlement in a phone hacking case, involving a significant sum of money.
Now, with the revelation about Bolland's potential involvement, the royal family is bound to be left red-faced and quietly seething. In his controversial memoir titled "Spare," Prince Harry allegedly refers to Bolland as Camilla's "new spin doctor," whom she convinced Charles to hire in preparation for their marriage.
