Britain’s Prince Harry has said that some “powerful forces” that
pursued his mother to her death are also after his wife, Meghan
Markle.
The British Royal and his wife announced they are suing the Mail
on Sunday.
In a strong statement, the Duke of Sussex said he feared history
repeating itself as he watches his “wife falling victim to the same
powerful forces” which plagued his mother Diana’s life.
Law firm Schillings, representing the duchess, said it has filed
a High Court claim against the Mail On Sunday and its parent
company, Associated Newspapers, over the alleged misuse of private
information, infringement of copyright and breach of the Data
Protection Act.
The legal action relates to the publication of a private letter
which Harry and Meghan claim was published in an “intentionally
destructive manner” to “manipulate” and to “further the divisive
agenda” of the newspaper.
He claims readers were misled by the newspaper “strategically
omitting select paragraphs, specific sentences, and even singular
words to mask the lies they had perpetuated for over a year.”
The Royal couple, as published by Sky, asserted:
“As a couple, we believe in media freedom and objective,
truthful reporting. We regard it as a cornerstone of democracy and
in the current state of the world — on every level — we have never
needed responsible media more.
“Unfortunately, my wife has become one of the latest victims of
a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals
with no thought to the consequences — a ruthless campaign that has
escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while
raising our newborn son.
“There is a human cost to this relentless propaganda,
specifically when it is knowingly false and malicious, and though
we have continued to put on a brave face — as so many of you can
relate to — I cannot begin to describe how painful it has been.
“Because in today’s digital age, press fabrications are
repurposed as truth across the globe. One day’s coverage is no
longer tomorrow’s chip-paper.
“Up to now, we have been unable to correct the continual
misrepresentations — something that these select media outlets have
been aware of and have therefore exploited on a daily and sometimes
hourly basis.
“It is for this reason we are taking legal action, a process
that has been many months in the making.
“The positive coverage of the past week from these same
publications exposes the double standards of this specific press
pack that has vilified her almost daily for the past nine months;
they have been able to create lie after lie at her expense simply
because she has not been visible while on maternity leave.
“She is the same woman she was a year ago on our wedding day,
just as she is the same woman you’ve seen on this Africa tour.
“For these select media, this is a game, and one that we have
been unwilling to play from the start. I have been a silent witness
to her private suffering for too long.
“To stand back and do nothing would be contrary to everything we
believe in.
“This particular legal action hinges on one incident in a long
and disturbing pattern of behaviour by British tabloid media.
“The contents of a private letter were published unlawfully in
an intentionally destructive manner to manipulate you, the reader,
and further the divisive agenda of the media group in question.
“In addition to their unlawful publication of this private
document, they purposely misled you by strategically omitting
select paragraphs, specific sentences, and even singular words to
mask the lies they had perpetuated for over a year.
“There comes a point when the only thing to do is to stand up to
this behaviour, because it destroys people and destroys lives. Put
simply, it is bullying, which scares and silences people.
“We all know this isn’t acceptable, at any level. We won’t and
can’t believe in a world where there is no accountability for
this.
“Though this action may not be the safe one, it is the right
one. Because my deepest fear is history repeating itself.
“I’ve seen what happens when someone I love is commoditised to
the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real
person.
“I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the
same powerful forces.
“We thank you, the public, for your continued support. It is
hugely appreciated.
“Although it may not seem like it, we really need it.”
