King Charles appears to glance at Harry in Westminster Abbey
King Charles III and Prince William will be "massively irritated" by the prospect of Prince Harry divulging more details about the Royal Family's private life in court, a source close to the Royal Family has said.
A senior judge on Thursday ruled that the Duke of Sussex's case against News Group Newspapers (NGN) can partially proceed.
Harry has launched legal proceedings alleging The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World used illegal methods to collect information about him.
While the King and William accept that Harry is now a private citizen with the right to "do what he likes", the royals are tipped to remain unhappy about him sharing information about the family in his bid to secure his privacy.
One source close to the family told The Daily Beast: "Everyone in the family completely accepts that Harry is a private citizen and can do what he likes without reference to the family.

"That doesn’t mean they have to like it. Of course, they are massively irritated by the prospect of more blockbuster Harry trials but they have been expecting it; there is also the defamation case against the Mail don’t forget.
"Their goal is just to keep plugging away and not get distracted by any of it.”
Another insider argued the Royal Family would approach any further revelation Prince Harry could make in court with the same strategy they have used since his departure.
They said there will be "no change" and they simply will not respond to any allegations he might make. The source suggested this approach will extend to any further interview or book the Duke and his wife, Meghan Markle, might work on.
The judge ruling on Harry's case also delivered a blow to the Duke as he put an end to some of his claims.

Harry and Meghan's 'month from hell' amid 'cancelled party, split rumours and club ban'
Prince Harry and Meghan have been hit by claims their marriage is on the brink amid the strain caused by their cancelled Spotify deal. Rumours started circulating on gossip sites but the Prince's inner circle denied the claims.
Here Express.co.uk takes a look at all the challenging hurdles the pair have been forced to face.
The Duke had previously claimed his family had struck a "secret agreement" with the press to stop reporters from intercepting phone conversations.
But the judge said Harry's argument had not "reached the threshold of plausibility," citing the lack of "witness or documentary evidence."
Litigation lawyer Paul Britton suggested the Duke will now focus on the claims he is allowed to bring forward instead of risking wasting his time on appeal.
The Britton and Time litigator told Daily Express: "While Harry could appeal the decision made today, the grounds for appeal would be anyone’s guess.
"It is far more likely that he will leave the appeal well alone and instead focus on the other allegations he is making."
