Prince Harry testified in court on Tuesday regarding his lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mirror for allegedly using unlawful techniques in publishing front-page scoops about his life. He specifically cited a 2002 article that perpetuated the long-time rumor that King Charles III was not his biological father. Harry described how hurtful, mean, and cruel the rumors were, particularly in the wake of losing his mother at a young age. The case marks the first of several lawsuits Harry has filed against the media to go to trial. In court, Harry was forced to confront articles he had previously complained about and identify the source of wrongdoing by Mirror Group’s journalists. The Duke of Sussex accused the tabloids of playing a destructive role in his growing up and causing him to become depressed and paranoid.
Royal Prince Harry feared being removed from his position due to a harmful rumor about his biological parentage involving James Hewitt, leading to a court case in the UK.
