Questions have been raised about Harry’s immigration status because of his admitted former drug use

Harry is one of two people, along with former Labour deputy leader Lord Tom Watson, suing News Group Newspapers.

Harry, 40, is suing News Group Newspapers over allegations he was targeted by journalists and private investigators working for the publisher.

The Times newspaper reports Harry has told friends he would step into such a role while Charles is unwell.

Associated Newspapers Limited has firmly denied allegations it carried out or commissioned unlawful activities.
