Is Meghan Markle in the UK as Prince Harry appears in court?

Prince Harry is testifying in the High Court again today in his case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) and many are wondering whether his wife, Meghan Markle, is also in London.

The Duke of Sussex is suing MGN for damages over alleged unlawful information gathering, and was expected in court on Monday but failed to appear, leaving his barrister, David Sherborne, to take a roasting from the judge over it.

However, Harry took to the witness stand on Tuesday and will continue being cross-examined today. In a blistering 55-page witness statement, Harry gave his views on Piers Morgan, a supposed plot to steal his DNA to determine whether James Hewitt, rather than King Charles, was his real father, and journalists having ‘blood’ on their ‘typing fingers’.

He alleges that about 140 articles published between 1996 and 2010 by MGN titles contained information gathered using unlawful methods, and 33 of these have been selected to be considered at the trial.

So has his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, joined him in London?

Here’s what we know.

Is Meghan Markle in London?

Meghan has not been seen in the UK, and at the end of yesterday’s session, the judge instructed Harry not to discuss his evidence with anyone overnight. Harry joked in response by asking if that included his wife and children, saying he would be likely connecting with them on a Facetime call.

Meghan is believed to be in the US with their two children, Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, who has just turned 2.

Harry flew to England from the US late on Sunday night where he had spent the day celebrating his daughter Lilibet’s second birthday.

The couple now live in Montecito, California, since stepping away from Royal life in 2020.

While Meghan did attend the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth last September, she remained in the US for King Charles’ coronation in May and Harry attended alone, jetting rapidly in and out of the country.

The coronation came just four months after the publication of Harry’s controversial memoir, Spare, which detailed the mental health problems Meghan suffered after joining the Royal Family.

However, the couple are reportedly set to stop making Netflix shows and writing books criticising the royals.

The trial continues.
