Trial Delays and Judge’s Concerns

The case, involving the Duke of Sussex and Labour MP Tom Watson against News Group Newspapers (NGN), was originally scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. However, the start time was pushed back to 11:30 a.m. at the request of David Sherborne, the legal representative for Prince Harry and Watson. Later, Sherborne requested another delay to 2:00 p.m., a move supported by NGN lawyer Anthony Hudson KC.

Justice Fancourt approved the additional delay but expressed frustration over the interruptions. “I am a little concerned about the timetable overall,” he stated, while noting, “On the other hand, an hour or two in the context of eight weeks is not significant.”

The judge firmly added, “If the parties can assure me that time will be beneficial and will produce some outcome, then I am willing to provide some further time – but it has to be the last adjournment.”

Earlier in the day, Sherborne had requested the first delay, telling the court, “I have been asked to ask your Lordship if we can have a short adjournment for an hour.” He also acknowledged the potential inconvenience caused by the request, stating, “I appreciate that might cause some inconvenience.”

Allegations Against News Group Newspapers

Prince Harry and former Labour deputy leader Lord Tom Watson are suing News Group Newspapers over allegations of unlawful information gathering. NGN denies the claims. This trial marks a significant legal battle, as the Duke of Sussex continues to challenge media practices that have impacted his life and public image.

The Duke of Sussex was notably absent on the first day of the trial. However, he is expected to take the witness stand during the February hearings, where he will present his testimony and provide evidence against NGN.
