The Duke of Sussex appeared for a second day in the witness box, aiming to prove that the newspaper group published stories about him using illegally obtained information. According to The Independent, Harry could be staying at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor during the trial.
He reportedly stayed at the Royal residence in May, attending his father King Charles's coronation without his wife Meghan Markle and their two children. It's also believed that he stayed at the cottage in April when he appeared at the Royal Courts of Justice for the phone hacking case against the publisher of the Daily Mail.
Frogmore Cottage is the Sussexes' official UK residence, where they celebrated their wedding reception and initially raised their firstborn child, Prince Archie, before relocating to California. However, they have been requested to vacate the cottage this summer, as approved by the king. Frogmore Cottage is more than an hour's drive from London, suggesting that Harry might be staying elsewhere.
Harry could have opted to pay for accommodation in a hotel or apartment within the city, which would likely offer a secret location with enhanced security for his personal safety. Royal expert Phil Dampier mentioned that Harry was seen at Soho House on Sunday night. If the reports are accurate and the Royals were reluctant to pay for prime accommodation in New York, Harry might have chosen to stay at Soho House, possibly in Megan's old room.
On Twitter, there were discussions suggesting that Harry had a wild night out at Soho House the evening before his court appearance, which may have been the reason for his absence. Some claimed that these rumors were propagated by Meghan's camp to conceal the possibility that she and Harry had a phone fight about what he should say in court.
In 2020, Harry and Meghan Markle launched "Megxit," a bold move distancing themselves from the monarchy and the royal family. Their controversial actions have gained attention and kept them in the spotlight, although it deviates from their initial intentions of ascending to world domination.
Even after leaving their roles as senior members of the monarchy, their past body language is still being examined by royal pundits and fans.
For instance, a video from a few weeks before their 2018 wedding has been circulating, capturing an interaction where body language expert Judy James believes Meghan puts Harry in his place. The footage shows Meghan speaking at the Women's Empowerment Reception during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting at the Royal Aeronautical Society in London, England.
Analyzing the video, James noted a shift in power dynamics as Megan interrupted Harry while he was leading the conversation, causing him to become submissive. She commented on the interaction, stating, "There's an interesting dynamic here as Harry and Meghan attend a women's empowerment forum.
Megan is clearly taking her lead from Harry initially as a royal, and even asks if she should shake hands, as well as pausing to allow him to walk into the room first. But once she's launched, we can see the very confident version of Megan emerge, while Harry adopts a more tentative and submissive pose beside her. Megan seems keen to learn the royal ropes here, but it's clearly her event as a champion of women's empowerment."
