Prince Harry Reveals Why Meghan Markle Won’t Return to the UK: Prince Harry disclosed that British tabloids’ coverage of his life, which included using illegally obtained private information, has led to safety concerns for his family, including his wife, Duchess Meghan. In a one-hour ITV News documentary titled “Tabloids on Trial,” which aired Thursday, the Duke of Sussex spoke publicly for the first time about winning his phone hacking lawsuit against the Daily Mirror’s publisher. The court awarded him around $180,000 in damages in December, as reported by USA Today.
They pushed me too far. It reached a point where no matter what I did, it was a no-win situation,” Harry said. “I don’t think there’s anyone else in the world better suited and positioned to see this through than myself.
“It’s still dangerous, and all it takes is one individual to act on what they’ve read—whether it’s with a knife, acid, or something else,” Harry explained. “These are genuine concerns for me, and it’s one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country.
Harry described the situation as a David versus Goliath battle, saying, “The Davids are the claimants, and the Goliath is this vast media enterprise.” He also emphasized, “I’ve made it very clear that this is something that needs to be addressed. It would be ideal if we could do it as a family. From a service standpoint, and given our public roles, these are the things we should be doing for the greater good. But I’m doing this for my reasons.
The report also mentioned, quoting Harry, that employees at Murdoch-owned tabloids hacked his phone and hired investigators over two decades. Harry stated, “If I can get to trial, then we’re looking at over a decade’s worth of evidence, most of which has never been made public,” referring to the NGN lawsuit.
