Prince Harry In Dock

Prince Harry In Dock – After he withdrew from the cosy privilege and private protection of the royal family, Prince Harry has been in the eye of storm. Though he was in the dock for his own sake fighting against what he claims as fake stories in the press but he was made to appear in the court, a lonely place, on his own, with the gulf from the rest of the royal family seeming even wider. The last time a member of the British royal family appeared in court was King Edward VII, as Prince of Wales, in the 19th century. Being in the dock is something of a taboo for royals in modern times for fear of uncorking something that could not be put back into the bottle. The historic hearing was in a modern, open-plan courtroom, full of strip-lighting, modular furniture and boxes of paper, more like the set of modern office than a Victorian court drama. Like everything else in Prince Harry’s life there was huge press attention here, with a packed courtroom, hovering helicopters and banks of TV cameras and photographers crowded around the court entrance fighting to get the best pictures for this press intrusion story.
