Prince Harry has never made so many trips back and forth between London and California. From June, the son of Charles III should be back in the British capital. Expected to appear in court, Meghan Markle’s husband may well be confronted with his worst media enemy.
Prince Harry should be back in London. Failing to have confirmed his presence at the coronation of Charles III, the Duke of Sussex is expected in the British capital from June. There again, no reunion in perspective with the Windsor clan, but a passage before the High Court to attend the trial that opposes him to the Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN). With “a group of celebrities”, Prince Harry is suing for damages against the publisher of The Mirror, Sunday Mirror and Sunday People newspapers accused of “phone hacking”. Among the personalities concerned: Cheryl of the group Girls Aloud, the heirs of George Michael, the former footballer turned TV presenter Ian Wright and the actor Ricky Tomlinson, reports the site Tatler.
According to information from the Telegraph, Archie and Lilibet’s father could be heard on the stand as a witness before Piers Morgan, former editor of the Mirror. A face-to-face that promises to be tense as the journalist has loudly proclaimed his dislike for the Sussex couple since his departure from the royal family. “I think it’s a sickening thing they’re doing,” the former ITV presenter said on Twitter in March 2022. He and his wife are making hundreds of millions of dollars scamming titles that have been granted to them by an institution that they constantly denigrate in public. I think it’s horrible for the Queen and I wish they would stop.
Piers Morgan, the worst enemy of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry?
For him, the son of Charles III and Lady Diana was “much more fun” when he was at Buckingham Palace before he became “this pale-faced, self-righteous hypocrite.” For him, Prince William’s brother was then someone “who thinks it’s perfectly normal to leave the country, leave the royal family and make all these demands from his California mansion about all the things he still thinks he’s entitled to”.
In January 2022, he warned the couple, “Whenever Meghan and Harry try to pull a fast one on the royal family, I’ll be there to hold them accountable.” Virulent criticism of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry that caused Piers Morgan to be pushed out of his show Good Morning Britain.
