Prince Harry's court case was due to begin at London's High Court this morning, but his lawyer has asked for two last-minute delays.
The Duke of Sussex and former Labour deputy leader Lord Tom Watson are suing News Group Newspapers (NGN), the publishers of the Sun, over allegations of unlawful information gathering, which the company denies.
The trial was due to start at 10:30am on Tuesday, but David Sherborne, the barrister representing the duke and Lord Watson, asked the judge to delay the start of the hearing.
He said: "I have been asked to ask your Lordship if we can have a short adjournment for an hour... I appreciate that might cause some inconvenience."
After returning to court, Mr Sherborne asked the judge for a further delay until 2pm, which was supported by Anthony Hudson KC, representing NGN.
He said: "I have been asked whether Your Lordship would give us a further period of time to continue discussions. I appreciate that does put the timetable, on the face of it, under a little pressure."
Mr Justice Fancourt said he was "a little concerned" with the timetable for the trial, which is expected to last several weeks, but said: "An hour or two in the context of eight weeks is not significant."
He continued: "If the parties assure me that that time will be very beneficial ... and will produce some outcome, then I am willing to provide further time, but I think it has to be the last adjournment.
"If you have not reached agreement by lunchtime, we will start at 2pm and I would like to be updated ... on where you have reached by just before 1pm."
It is not clear why Mr Sherborne requested the adjournment.
Several other high-profile figures have settled their cases against NGN, with 39 people settling claims between July and December last year.
The trial is expected to last 10 weeks, with Harry due to return to the UK to give evidence in person in February. He is expected to be in the witness box for several days.
The judge has previously described the court battle as resembling a campaign between "two obdurate but well-resourced armies" that is taking up "more than an appropriate" amount of court time.
NGN denies any unlawful activity took place at The Sun.
Speaking at The New York Times Dealbook Summit in December, the duke said he sought "truth and accountability" through legal action.
He said that 1,300 people had settled their claims, adding: "They've settled because they've had to settle. So therefore, one of the main reasons for seeing this through is accountability, because I'm the last person that can actually achieve that."
He also said that he had become "professional" at litigation, but hoped "to retire fairly soon in that regard".
