Prince Harry, the British Tabloids, and the Ghosts of Relationships Past

Over the past two days, Prince Harry took the witness stand in London to give evidence about the press, his past, and his private life. During his testimony, Harry alleged the Mirror Group hacked into his phone and then printed the illegally-intercepted information within its pages. Harry put forth 100 articles published between 1996 and 2011 to make his case..

Before he married Meghan Markle, Harry dated several women—most notably Chelsy Davy, with whom he had a six-year on-and-off relationship between 2004 and 2010. “Unlike so many people I knew, she seemed wholly unconcerned with appearances, with propriety, with royalty,” he wrote of the Zimbabwean-born lawyer in his memoir. “She wasn’t visibly fitting herself for a crown the moment she shook my hand.

An article pertaining to Caroline Flack—the British television presenter who Harry dated in 2009 and later died by suicide in 2020—was also presented as evidence. “Every single time one of these articles was written it had an effect on my life,” he said in his testimony on Tuesday.Prince issued a statement

that at the time was considered among the most strongly worded he’d ever issued. “Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle’s safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her,” it read. “It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm. He knows commentators will say this is ‘the price she has to pay’ and that ‘this is all part of the game’. He strongly disagrees.

Kensington Palace also mentioned that “he has rarely taken formal action on the very regular publication of fictional stories that are written about him.”
