The hacking trial on Monday turned out to be the warm-up for the headline act tomorrow – Prince Harry’s much-anticipated appearance in the witness box.
Although if today is anything to go by, when he faces questions he’ll be sitting down behind a computer screen, glass of water at hand, rather than anything more theatrical.
It seemed to have annoyed MGN's lawyers that Prince Harry wasn’t here for the first day specifically relating to his claims of hacking.
They clearly want to keep him in the witness box asking questions for as long as possible – and that will now stretch through Tuesday and into Wednesday.
But, Prince Harry’s claims were presented by his lawyers – depicting him as someone whose entire life, private and public, has been “invaded” by a tabloid press which resorted to hacking and unlawful means of finding information.
The prince’s relationship with his family, his girlfriends, even his health, had been caught up in this “web”, according to his lawyers.
But the Mirror Group's lawyers hit back strongly – arguing that despite all the broad allegations, there was no unambiguous evidence of phone hacking of Prince Harry.
Although they put it more colourfully, saying there was: “Zilch. Zero. Nil. De Nada. Niente. Nothing.”
The two sides have set the scene for a royal battle in the morning.
