Prince Harry is “confident” for his final showdown with the UK press — and looked it when he arrived at court Monday.
The Duke of Sussex was all smiles as he was photographed approaching London’s High Court in a navy suit.
The 41-year-old grinned and waved at onlookers.
Harry — along with Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley, Jude Law and more claimants — is suing Associated Newspapers for alleged illegal information gathering.
The media group, which includes Daily Mail, the Mail on Sunday and Mail Online, has “vigorously denied” the celebs’ claims.
Harry’s spokesperson told Page Six the duke is “feeling … ready” for his final showdown with the UK press.
The trial is expected to take nine weeks, with Harry scheduled as the first witness on Thursday.

A source told People that this legal battle “is the culmination of what has been years of litigation,” following his lawsuits against the Sun and the Mirror.
“He sees this as an injustice that needs to be righted,” the outlet claimed. “He is a fortunate man in that he is a man of means and has the ability to do this, and he has the will and strength of character to take them on. He sees it in the sense that if he doesn’t do it, who will?”
Page Six confirmed earlier this month that Harry won’t reunite with his dad, King Charles III, during his time across the pond.
The monarch, 77, is currently in Scotland.
We hear Harry, who lives in Montecito, Calif., with wife Meghan Markle and their two children, had a “very tight” schedule while in England and would have had an “extremely difficult” time making plans with Charles outside the trial.
The former military pilot, notably, took a major step to mend his strained relationship with his father last year.
The duo had a private meeting in September 2025, marking their first sitdown in more than a year.
Markle, for her part, has not been to the United Kingdom since 2022 — but is expected to attend this summer’s Invictus Games one-year-to-go celebrations in England.
Harry has long maintained that his family is not safe in his homeland without royal-backed security, which he was denied in 2020.
The prince explained in May 2025 that this battle for safety was “always the sticking point” in his estrangement from his family.
“It is the only thing that’s left,” he said.
Earlier this month, Ravec, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee, ruled that Harry does meet the threshold for official protection despite no longer being a working royal.
