Prince Harry’s appearance in the UK comes just days after the cancellation of the King’s overseas visit to France.

Although the 38-year-old would have had no control over when the court appearance was scheduled to take place, speculation is mounting that the Duke travelled to London believing his “dearest Papa” would be out of the country, on a State visit to France.

The King and the Queen Consort are still set to travel to Germany on Wednesday, which is the second leg of the royal tour.

As reported in by the Telegraph, the Sussexes could have been aware that Harry’s visit would “certainly have upstaged the King’s European charm offensive”.

This is, of course, had the visit not been cancelled when President Macron suddenly “pulled the plug” on Friday.

Appearing in court on Monday, Harry was appearing to bring the legal action along with other high-profile figures including Liz Hurley and Sir Elton John.

The Prince is one of the high-profile individuals bringing claims against Associated Newspapers (ANL) for alleged misuse of private information.

In a clip shared on Twitter by journalist Ellie Costello, Harry appeared in high spirits as he arrived at the court and smiled at some of the photographers gathered outside.

However, he didn’t notice a cameraman in front of him as he turned round and accidentally bumped into him.

King Charles and Camilla, the Queen Consort were meant to travel to France as part of a state visit on March 26.

The royal couple’s visit was cancelled after anti-monarchy graffiti appeared during riots sweeping the country.

Protests have been ongoing since January.

They began when President Macron passed laws increasing the pension age from 62 to 64.

The laws were passed without a parliamentary vote.
