Prince William and Catherine begin official duties in Scotland as Prince Harry prepares to arrive in London for the opening of a high-profile privacy case, underscoring parallel royal schedules with public consequences. The Prince Harry lawsuit against Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, centers on alleged improper newsgathering that invaded privacy. The case, joined by Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley, positions high-profile claimants against a major outlet in a test of media accountability. Associated Newspapers denies the accusations as baseless. William and Catherine meet Team GB curling athletes in Stirling before Falkirk heritage engagements, emphasizing service and continuity. The brothers’ separation frames the trial and public duties without overlap.
