Prince Harry “has arrived back home in California” after spending three nights “at Frogmore Cottage”.

Prince Harry is believed to be back in Montecito after leaving the UK after two days of acrimonious evidence before the Supreme Court in the Mirror phone hacking trial – but he reportedly avoided to see his father and brother less than half a mile from where he was staying.

The Duke of Sussex is reported to have landed in California on Thursday evening, meaning he left Britain around midday that same day – along the same route he took after King Charles’ coronation in May.

According to the Telegraph, he stayed at Frogmore Cottage for three nights, but it is expected to be his last visit to the house he once shared with his wife after his father evicted him in early summer.

It is also understood that he did not meet his father King Charles or his brother Prince William during his stay.

William is believed to be in the UK with his wife Kate for a number of dates near their Windsor home. Adelaide Cottagejust 700 meters from Frogmore.

Charles returned from Romania on Tuesday and attended a church service that evening at St James’s Roman Catholic Church in Marylebone. On Wednesday, when Harry testified on Day Two, Charles was at a military function at Buckingham Palace to thank the soldiers and soldiers who attended the Queen’s funeral. He also met Secretary of Defense Ben Wallace and Admiral Sir Benjamin Key, the First Sea Lord.

The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex returned to London this week to testify for two days as part of his lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers for damages over alleged hacking and other deceptions.

But after Harry completed his testimony on Wednesday, he is said to have decided against extending his stay at Frogmore Cottage and made his way back to his home in the United States.

The brief stint with his security team likely marked Harry’s final nights at the Windsor estate after being evicted by his father just 24 hours after the release of his bombastic memoir, Spare.

Although the Sussexes have been given until early summer to vacate the property, it is understood they have no plans to visit the UK before then.

Harry flew to the UK on Sunday night to attend the Supreme Court hearing after celebrating Princess Lilibet of Sussex’s second birthday.

However, he has been accused of wasting court time after missing the first day of his historic trial on Monday.

An angry judge chided the Duke’s lawyer when it became clear the royal witness was “unavailable”.

The Mirror’s KC Andrew Green said it was “absolutely extraordinary” that Harry “was unavailable on the first day of his trial”.

Mr Judge Fancourt said he was “a little surprised” Harry wasn’t there and admonished Mr Sherborne for causing “timetable chaos”.

The Duke appeared on the verge of tears as he ended his historic day and a half answering questions in court on Wednesday afternoon.

The Duke of Sussex is suing MGN for damages over allegations that journalists used hacking, “showing off” and other illegal methods of deception

During the tumultuous final hours on the witness stand, the Duke voluntarily recounted details of his checkered love life, including a trip to a strip club.

The Duke is suing MGN for damages over allegations that journalists used hacking, “showing off” and other illegal means of deception to write 140 articles published over a 24-year period between 1996 and 2010.

MGN disputes Harry’s claims and has either denied or not admitted that articles about Harry being questioned at trial involved phone hacking or illegal activity.

Meanwhile, the controversial, lunatic documentary series about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for Netflix has been pushed back to next year due to widespread backlash over The Crown.

Harry and Meghan had been working on the series as part of their reported $100m (£88m) deal with the streaming giant.

But after The Crown was accused of fabricating a “hurtful” smear against King Charles by describing him as secretly plotting to overthrow the Queen, Netflix has now pushed back.
