Prince Harry Almost Sued The Media For Hounding Meghan Markle and Her Family
By now, a lot of personal and private stories of Prince Harry are out in the public. With the release of his memoir Spare and the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, it is inevitable anyways. But even without him revealing anything, the media has been successful in coming out with several stories about him. Being a royal, the Duke of Sussex has always been in the eyes of the media.
As much as he tried his best to conceal his private life, it somehow got out in the public. In the book, he recalled one such time which made him greatly frustrated. When he had been dating his wife Meghan Markle, the media ended up hounding her just the same. According to Prince Harry, he was filed with guilt for putting Markle and her family in such a situation. He said,
“I’d promised her that I’d keep her safe, J and I’d already dropped her into the middle of this danger.”
The Duke further revealed that the situation made him want to sue the papers and media. However, his lawyer advised him against the idea. According to the lawyer, going after the media was exactly what they wanted.
Meghan Markle And The Media
There was no way Meghan Markle could have escaped the media after marrying someone like Prince Harry. And as it happened, the media soon got all over her daily life. And in Markle’s case, the treatment was harsher by the press. She was easily made out to be the “villain” in the royal family dramas. The Duchess of Sussex has herself shared how the British media even used the N-word against her.
Since she became a part of the royal family, most of the news coverage surrounding her was negative. Being a foreigner and a black woman, her experience was different than others in the British royal family.
