Prince William appears set to leave the UK on Wednesday for a planned trip to Paris.

The Duke of Sussex landed in the UK on Sunday ahead of his two-day hearing at the Court of Appeal.


Harry arrived at the Court of Appeal this morning around 9:30am and is expected to attend the second day of the hearing on Wednesday.

Harry did not see his father during the brief time they were both in the UK on Sunday.

King Charles departed for a four-day diplomatic trip to Italy with Queen Camilla soon after the Duke of Sussex landed in London.

Prince William is now set to leave the UK on Wednesday to head to France.

The Prince of Wales will watch the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Paris Saint Germain and Aston Villa on Wednesday evening.

William is a devoted Aston Villa fan and appeared to confirm his intention to travel to Paris following the Birmingham-based football club's last Champions League game.

The prince told a group of journalists "see you in Paris" as he walked to his car following Aston Villa's 6-1 aggregate defeat of Belgian side Club Brugge in the previous round of the competition.

Earlier this year, the Prince of Wales headed to Monaco to watch Aston Villa in the Champions League.

Prince William and Prince Harry are not on speaking terms and are unlikely to have met up in the days before the heir to the throne's trip to France.

Prince Harry ignored a question on whether he had spoken with King Charles as he walked into the Court of Appeal this morning.

When approached by a reporter outside the court who asked: "Did you speak to your dad?", Harry did not respond.

Harry is taking legal action against the Home Office over a decision made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures in February 2020.

The dispute concerns the level of police protection he should receive when in the UK.

The Duke has argued that his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, cannot "feel at home" or "safe" in the country unless his police protection is fully restored.

The High Court previously heard that Harry's "status" had changed as a result of no longer being a "full-time working member of the Royal Family".

Prince Harry stepped down as a working member of the Royal Family in 2020 alongside his wife Meghan Markle.
