Prince Harry reappeared at London's High Court on Thursday for the final day of a four-day hearing in his latest legal battle.
He is one of a number of high-profile individuals bringing privacy claims against ANL, the publisher of the Daily Mail, over allegations it carried out or commissioned illegal or unlawful information-gathering.
Harry sat through all of the proceedings on both Monday and Tuesday - you can see his arrival on day two below - but was absent from Wednesday's sitting.
ANL, which denies the allegations, says a judge should rule in its favour without a trial because the legal challenges against it are brought “far too late”.
David Sherborne, representing Harry and others, said ANL’s challenge to their legal action was “ambitious as it is unattractive”.

The barrister said the group, which also includes actresses Sadie Frost and Liz Hurley and ex-Liberal Democrat MP Sir Simon Hughes, had a “compelling case”.

This included the hiring of private investigators to place listening devices inside cars, the 'blagging' of private records and the accessing and recording of private phone conversations.

It read, in part: "In particular, suspicion and paranoia was caused by Associated's publication of the unlawful articles: friends were lost or cut off as a result and everyone became a 'suspect' since he was misled by the way that the articles were written into believing that those close to him were the source of this information being provided to Associated's newspapers."
He added: "The claimant regards Associated's unlawful acts to amount to a major betrayal given promises made by the media to improve its conduct following the tragic and untimely death of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997."
Harry is believed to have stayed at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor this week. It will be one of the final times he stays at his former UK residence after receiving an eviction notice.
