The Guardian Weekly|December 22, 2023
As the Duke of Sussex claimed victory in his hacking case against Mirror Group Newspapers, it was clear he felt vindication for his tortuous, longrunning legal battles against sections of the British media. "I've been told that slaying dragons will get you burned," he said in a statement, before adding a defiant: "The mission continues."

On the hook Why hacking case meant so much to Prince Harry

Prince Harry has long despaired of the royal family's failure to take on the press. His father, King Charles, had told him it would be a "suicide mission". And he does seem to have been burned. When he appeared in the witness box in June, the first senior British royal for 130 years to do so in court at a trial, he was asked about the toll his fight was taking.

A stranger for ever A family's struggles after the second world war are intimately captured across continents and generations

Here are some of the events that are not described in Claire Messud's ambitious novel about the lives of three generations of a Franco-Algerian family: the Algerian war of independence, as a result of which the Cassar family lose their home and national identity; the two years the family's most promising scion spends as a student in Paris, during which he endures something (racist bullying? Mental collapse?) that blights his adult life; his sister's broken-hearted suicide attempt; the courtship of a couple who have been held up throughout the novel as exemplars of married love and yet whose relationship - as we discover in the final pages - was shockingly transgressive.
