Prince Harry left judges at the High Court surprised when he did not appear at court proceedings in his trial against the Mirror Group Newspapers. The Duke of Sussex was previously reported to be giving evidence at the court in London after flying to the UK from the US, but Mr. Justice Fancourt, who is overseeing the case, said he was "surprised" that Harry did not attend as originally requested. Instead, the Duke's barrister arrived to take on the landmark case, in which the royal is arguing that over a period of ten years, the newspaper group used illegal methods to obtain information to run stories. The case is ongoing, and Harry is now said to be giving evidence on Tuesday.

And Holly Willoughby has addressed Phillip Schofield's affair and departure from This Morning. The presenter spoke directly to viewers when she returned to the daytime programme on Monday, telling audiences that she felt shaken, troubled and that it was strange being on the show without her former co-host.
