For the first time in the modern era a senior royal is going to give evidence in open court.
Prince Harry has been on this collision course for years - and finally he is going to be in a courtroom in person, eyeball to eyeball, in his battle against the tabloid press.
But giving evidence in person in this Mirror Group Newspapers hacking trial will have big risks for him. He will face the type of open, public and tough questioning that is a long way from any previous royal interview he has taken part in. He could face gruelling questioning about stories relating to his relationships, his girlfriends, his mother Diana, the treatment of Meghan and his life growing up in the Royal Family.
"Harry and Meghan's continuing hard luck stories only make William and Kate look much better in every way," he adds. "It could be good for Harry in the long run, even though the older generation will be tut-tutting," she says.As for the rest of the Royal Family, they will be "watching with an element of horror", she says.
