Prince Harry set for public appearance after private meeting

The Duke of Sussex Prince Harry is due to return to public view on today with a visit to a children’s hospital in Birmingham. The Prince’s five-day solo tour of the UK took a sharp detour into privately held meetings Wednesday when media access was abruptly cancelled at the last minute amid an intense summer heatwave.

The Duke was met by a private security detail for closed-door meetings at Royal Hospital Chelsea with no media or photographers allowed. The media blackout comes only 24 hours after a major setback in British courts.

Legal Blow Behind Invictus Tour Prince Harry was dealt a blow Tuesday as his high-profile legal case against Associated Newspapers Limited – the owner of the Daily Mail – was thrown out of court.

Justice Nicklin dismissed all of the Duke’s claims, along with others brought by Sir Elton John and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, that information had been gathered unlawfully. Royal analysts and legal observers slammed Harry and Lady Lawrence after the pair released a blistering statement calling the ruling a “complete and obvious whitewash.” Meghan, Children Stay Home Meghan Markle, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet did not join Harry in the UK.

A decision to stay behind in California was made about a week before the trip.
