Six years ago, during a royal tour to Africa with his wife Meghan, Prince Harry surprised the British press by accusing them of conducting a relentless campaign against him, stating, Put simply, it is bullying, which scares and silences people. This marked the beginning of Harry's campaign against the media he believed were damaging lives unchecked. His efforts led him to relinquish his royal duties, become estranged from his father King Charles and the royal family, and face widespread criticism.
On a recent victory against Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers, Harry claimed, Today the lies are laid bare. Today, the cover-ups are exposed. And today proves that no one stands above the law. Receiving an admittance of unlawful behavior by The Sun tabloid towards him and Princess Diana, he emphasized the significance of accountability in the media industry.
Despite not going to a full trial, unlike others who opted for settlements, Harry persevered, forcing Murdoch's group to issue an apology. Through various legal proceedings, it was revealed how British tabloids had unlawfully targeted numerous individuals by hacking voicemails and misleadingly acquiring personal information in the past.
Harry's ongoing battle against tabloid misconduct appears relentless, with future legal actions scheduled, including a case against Associated Newspapers with singer Elton John, alleging phone-hacking and other illicit actions.
