Prince Harry’s persistent shadow haunts him in court
Prince Harry’s quiet courtroom battle has been anything but peaceful.
Last week, as he faced Associated Newspapers Limited in Court 76 of the Royal Courts of Justice, the Duke of Sussex was confronted with a stark reminder of the dangers that follow him.
Twice, a woman with a known obsession was spotted just metres behind him in the public gallery.
Identified immediately by his private security team, she is listed on a register of fixated individuals.
Court staff, however, were powerless to act. “It’s a public building,” a source told The Telegraph. “She has the right to be there. Obviously, it’s not ideal.”
The woman, believed to be struggling with mental health issues, has repeatedly surfaced near Harry.
She trailed him to Nigeria and breached security at a London hotel last September during the WellChild Awards, slipping into a restricted area. Two days later, she was spotted near the Centre for Blast Injury Studies.
Amid these unnerving encounters, the Prince has also been pursuing his privacy case with dogged determination, seeking accountability from Fleet Street for what he describes as decades of reckless tabloid intrusion.
Some speculate his motive spans a mix of justice, vengeance, and a protective instinct for Meghan and his children.
Neil Basu, former head of the UK Counter Terrorism unit, described the Duke’s situation as anxiety-inducing.
“Repeated run-ins with a stalker are incredibly stressful,” he said. “You never fully know where a fixation will lead roses or declarations of love, or something far more dangerous.”
The Home Office has launched a review of Harry’s security arrangements, a shift prompted by his high-profile encounters and ongoing legal battles.
Despite losing a bid for automatic state-funded protection, the Duke remains at the top of the threat radar, with his global recognition and recent media attention likely heightening the risks.
The Duke of Edinburgh touched down in the United Arab Emirates on 31st January, for a whistle-stop mission that’s equal parts youth inspiration and environmental eye opener.
On the first day of his visit, Prince Edward well known as the global champion of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award met with ambitious young participants from The British School Al Khubairat and Gordonstoun School at Jubail Mangrove Park in Abu Dhabi.
The mangrove reserve, part of a wider UAE push to protect coastal ecosystems and biodiversity, is also a new kind of classroom for youth learning and stewardship.
As Chairman of the Award Foundation, he used the occasion to celebrate how programmes like the DofE empower young people with confidence.
Meanwhile, Gordonstoun’s involvement carries special weight, the Scottish school is where the Duke’s father, Prince Philip, helped shape the Award’s ethos and where the programme was born.
After engaging with students and mentors among the mangroves, he went on to visit the Zayed National Museum to celebrate UAE’s history before joining a dinner hosted by Britain’s Ambassador to the UAE, His Excellency Edward Hobart, in Dubai.
The Traitors’ winner Rachel Duffy has shared a sweet yet emotional tribute to her mother, Anne.
Throughout the show, mother-of-three, 43, shared her plans for how she would use the prize money if she won ,by creating memories with her mum, who was tragically diagnosed with Parkinson’s at just 47 and spent her last few years with dementia.
Sharing the heartbreaking news on her Instagram on Tuesday morning, January 27, 2026, Rachel Duffy said she was “heartbroken” at the death of her “beautiful wee mummy.”
On Sunday, Rachel took to Instagram where she shared a montage of photos and an emotional message. She wrote: ‘Thank you Mummy, thank you for loving us so much.
‘Thank you for teaching us our worth. Thank you for so much kindness shown and taught. Thank you for endless laughs and lots of fun. Thank you for helping us parent our babies. Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on when we needed one.
‘Thank you for the many words of wisdom over the years. Thank you for showing us the true meaning of integrity. Thank you for giving us a beautiful life. Thank you for a lifetime of happy memories.
‘Thank you for being our mummy. We love you x’.
It comes after she won the BBC reality show The Traitors along with her fellow Traitor, Stephen Duffy.
