The Duke of Sussex is waiting for a High Court judge to rule on a number of preliminary issues after making a libel claim against the Mail publisher over articles about his legal battle against the Home Office.

Harry is suing Associated Newspapers Limited, publisher of the Mail on Sunday and Mail Online, over stories written after a hearing in a separate High Court case over his security arrangements when he is in the UK.
