Prince Harry is currently in London giving evidence against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) in a case about unlawful information gathering.
The royal was pictured arriving at the High Court on Tuesday morning ready to give evidence. As Harry entered the witness box, his 55-page witness statement was published - and royal fans were quick to point out a few glaring errors.
In his statement, Harry referred to his father King Charles III as "His Royal Highness," instead of "His Majesty." ITV's Royal Editor, Chris Ship, tweeted about Harry's mistake, writing: "Minor in the scheme of things, but odd no one proofreading the witness statement picked up that #PrinceHarry referred to his father as 'His Royal Highness' King Charles, not 'His Majesty King Charles.'"
Prince Harry made two further mistakes in his witness statement. On the subject of Paul Burrell - Princess Diana's former butler - the 38-year-old used the word "indiscrete" when he should have used "indiscreet".

Beyond this, the Duke of Sussex referred to his late mother as "Princess Diana," which, whilst technically correct, is a much more colloquial take on her official title "Diana, Princess of Wales."

We were obviously very close. Up until her death in 1997, we were in regular telephone contact when we were not together, especially as I boarded at school. Private information relating to me would have been present in voicemails left on her phone by members of my family or the Royal Household."

He also explained how his panic-stricken grandmother Queen Elizabeth II sent a personal aide to keep an eye on him during his gap year in Australia back in 2003.
