Prince Harry is back in the spotlight, and this time controversy is following him again! Recently, the Duke of Sussex spilled the tea in ITV‘s documentary “Tabloids on Trial,” which premiered on July 25th. In the documentary, the former royal member shared his feelings on his legal feud with the British press and revealed that this was a central part of the rift with his family.Â

“I think that’s certainly a central piece to it. That’s a hard question to answer because anything I say about my family results in a torrent of abuse from the press.”
Prince Harry has been entangled in four lawsuits against newspaper publishers in the U.K. over allegations of phone hacking and other unlawful acts. He won against Mirror Group Newspapers in December 2023 and now he’s pursuing two ongoing civil cases against the publishers of The Mail and The Sun, both of which deny any unlawful information-gathering activities.
NEW: In tonight’s ITV documentary on hacking, Prince Harry told us his granny, the late Queen Elizabeth, supported his legal battle with the tabloids.

However, it looks like the British royal family is not very supportive of his legal feud. According to Prince Harry, this is an issue that he had to tackle on his own, because the rest of the monarchy did not get involved in the feud. This exception to the rule was Queen Elizabeth, who “supported” and “knew how much” this meant to the Duke of Sussex, according to his words for the documentary.
