Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is currently the one-man army for his family, fighting all the previous royal scandals from the past. Time and again, various public scandals have stained the royal pages. Most of them have stemmed from heavy media scrutiny and illegal press intrusion or so, says the estranged Prince. The Duke sent shockwaves throughout the world with a loud, detailed report as his witness statement.

The extraordinary document did not spare anyone involved in the entire fiasco. Having dragged in his father, King Charles, and elder brother Prince William, the Duke is now all set to take a step forward with his high-profile lawsuit. The world had hardly recovered from his back-to-back claims in the statements. Meanwhile, BBC has disclosed that the stirring court case will now have the Duke in the witness box to proceed further.

As per the report, the Duke believes his battle with the British tabloids has put him at risk from the public. Recalling some tags that the media associated him with, Prince Harry says how his own public had been turned against him with labels like “thicko, cheat, underage drinker, irresponsible drug taker,” and so on. To finally fight it all with his side of the story, the Duke will thus take it to the court to clarify it all.

The issue has also remarked that the pretrial hearing this week around the phone hacking scandal steered far away from being angry or outraged. All that the Prince cares about is his unwavering will to unmask the real story and bring the truth before the public.

If so it happens, Prince Harry would be the first ever Royal in the history of the imperial family to have taken the pains to debunk rumors. Despite every other controversy that has grasped the royal family so far, never did a royal ever speak publicly to set things straight. The case starts on May 9th in the UK.

Meanwhile, the opponent is headstrong as well to keep the Prince away. The News Group Newspaper has repeatedly rejected the claims of the Duke. The now-defunct News association has also remarked that the Prince is too late with his accusations. And that he should have filed the case a year before. The highly anticipated case is scheduled to go on trial next year, in the month of January.
