An anecdote in Prince Harry’s bombshell memoir is based on the “assumption” that a school friend sold a story about him to the tabloids.
Intense media scrutiny led Prince Harry to falsely accuse a friend of leaking details of a school prank to reporters, the estranged royal testified Tuesday during his bombshell civil trial against a UK newspaper group.
Harry noted that he was particularly distraught over a pair of 2002 articles that accused him of doing drugs with his friends, “The fact that the defendant’s journalists were trying to drag some of my friends into this and name and shame them sickens me,” he wrote in his 55-page witness statement.
Meghan, 41, famously skipped King Charles’ May 6 coronation altogether, while Harry attended the main service before quickly returning to their California home.
