In an exclusive televised interview, Prince Harry discussed his complicated relationships with the British royal family. Broadcast on ITV this Thursday, July 25, as part of the documentary Tabloids on Trial, this interview reveals the ongoing tensions between Harry and the members of the Crown.
Since his departure for the United States with his wife Meghan Markle, Prince Harry has regularly made headlines. His Netflix documentary series and his memoirs published in January 2023 have further exacerbated these tensions. During this interview, he admitted that his determination to sue the British tabloids contributed to his break with the royal family. "It is certainly a central element," he said, adding that every word about his family draws criticism from the press.
This interview comes after Harry won a lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers for phone hacking, obtaining 167,000 euros in damages. He describes this victory as "monumental," although the royal family did not support this fight. For him, this battle against the media remains a priority, despite the differences with his father Charles III and his brother William, who prefer indifference to media scandals.
Prince Harry might return to England for the Invictus Games 2027, organized in the United Kingdom. A delicate situation for the royal family, which will have to manage the media consequences of the Duke of Sussex‘s presence, in addition to a probable lack of public engagement from William and Kate. Meghan Markle and their children might not attend the event due to the couple’s security concerns.
