Prince Harry's Legal Battle with Tabloids: A Central Rift in the Royal Family
Prince Harry's battle with tabloids has played a central role in his rift with the Royal Family. After winning a landmark case against Mirror Group Newspapers, he expressed disappointment over a lack of family support. Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior royals in 2020 due to media pressures, and further claims about Princess Diana’s hacking remain unproven. The interview will air on ITV's 'Tabloids on Trial,' and MGN has apologized for past misconduct.
Prince Harry has revealed that his legal battle against tabloid intrusion has significantly contributed to the breakdown of his relationship with the Royal Family.
In December, a High Court judge ruled that Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) had unlawfully gathered information for stories about him, awarding Harry hundreds of thousands of pounds in damages.
Speaking for the first time since the four-year battle concluded, Harry described the victory as 'monumental' but regretted not having family support.
The prince and his wife Meghan stepped back as senior royals in 2020, citing media pressures.
Harry claims his mother, Princess Diana, was also a victim of media hacking, although this remains unproven.
The interview will air as part of ITV's documentary 'Tabloids on Trial,' featuring other celebrities like Hugh Grant and Charlotte Church.
MGN has issued an apology and compensation for historical wrongdoings and supports the court's judgment.
Prince Harry is involved in other legal cases against Associated Newspapers and News Group Newspapers.
