For several days, Prince Harry is in London, in court, to follow up on his complaint against the Daily Mail. His presence is a “stunt” according to an expert of the British Crown.
The big unpacking is not finished. Prince Harry is since March 27 in court to follow up on his complaint against the Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) for “gross violation of privacy”. In London for a few days, the son of Charles III does not make a good impression in the eyes of the British. It gives especially the feeling that his fight against the Firm is not ready to calm down. The Duke of Sussex is at “war” with the royal family, writes the Sun. And his surprise appearance at the trial only makes things worse. “He was there to indulge in his two favorite pastimes: giving Fleet Street a good kicking and launching another PR assault on the royal family,” commented British columnist Daniela Elser in the News media.
Before the judges of the High Court in London, Prince Harry accused members of his family of having withheld information from him about phone taps conducted by British tabloids. He also said the Crown had tried to dissuade him from suing the press. “What became clear this week is that Harry’s book, The Substitute, was not his final blow in his battle with the Palace. On the contrary, the duke will continue to wage his individual war,” noted the royal family expert journalist.
A surprise visit that raises questions
Since his arrival in the United States, Prince Harry has made very few visits to the United Kingdom. This surprise visit is described as a “stunt” in the press across the Channel, accusing the Duke of Sussex of not having come to simply “testify” since a remote access had been provided to avoid crossing the Atlantic.
Two months before the coronation of Charles III, the tensions in the clan do not seem to be calming down for the moment.
