Prince Harry, 38, was in the UK earlier this month to give evidence at the trial against Mirror Group Newspapers, and this Friday is of great significance as the landmark legal case concludes.
The royal will likely be at his home in Montecito when news of the end of the trial comes. He was only across the pond briefly for two days in court before jetting back to his wife Meghan Markle and two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Prince Harry is claiming that over a period of 10 years the newspaper groups used illegal methods to obtain information about him in order to run stories.
As well as the Duke, other high-profile celebrities have been involved, giving evidence in the trial, including Coronation Street stars Michael Le Vell and Nikki Sanderson.

Even though the case will be finalised this week, the judge Mr Justice Fancourt can spend months weighing up the evidence before delivering a verdict, so it could be after summer when a conclusion is met.
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have suffered a series of professional blows lately with the Duchess' Spotify deal coming to an end, surprising fans of her podcast Archetypes.
As well as a joint statement between Meghan and Spotify, Meghan herself also confirmed the news by writing on her website: "I loved digging my hands into the process, sitting up late at night in bed, working on the writing and creative. And I loved digging deep into meaningful conversations with my diverse and inspiring guests, laughing and learning with them. It has been such a labor of love."

However, in more positive news, Harry is counting down until September when the Invictus Games take place.
Earlier this week there was a lot of buzz around the event as the two hosts of the Invictus Games 2023 were officially announced online.
