Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have gone to great lengths to show how the British media consistently breach their privacy for shiny new stories, alleging too, how their family members may play a pivotal role in all that.

In his memoir, Spare, as well as the couple’s Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, they reveal exactly how the palace operates with the media, allegedly selling family secrets for positive headlines about themselves.

Now, one member of the Royal Rota has pretty much confirmed what the Duke of Sussex has been saying for yonks, She Knows reports, consistently calling out the press pool and his family for their dirty tactics and essentially being in bed together:

In Harry’s lawsuit against the Daily Mirror for “unlawful information gathering” about his life from 1995 through 2011, Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) Andrew Green KC admitted that Prince Harry was telling the truth all along.

“Many [articles] came from information disclosed by or on behalf of royal households or members of the royal family,” Green noted in a written statement, via The Times.

Indeed, Prince William and Kate Middleton have a lot to think about when trying to bring the monarchy into modern, better times.

The prince mentioned in his court documents that MGN’s tactics for gathering information, which included hiring a private detective, led to “huge bouts of depression and paranoia”. He said it also contributed to his relationship with then-girlfriend Chelsy Davy ending:

The constant selling of their private lives resulted in “their circle of friends [becoming] smaller and smaller, meaning that friendships were lost entirely unnecessarily.” In the end, Davy decided that “a royal life was not for her.”

Considering how Meghan is faring, Davy seemed to have made the right choice.

Queen Camilla’s image rehab is likely a result of her notoriously close relationship with the press, particularly Jeremy Clarkson and Piers Morgan, which has obviously left a sour taste in Harry’s mouth. It also helps make sense of why those two big mouths hate on Meghan so frequently and freely.

Anyway, Prince Harry is definitely kicking it back in California right now, taking a large sip of “I told you so” after being vindicated in this court case.

MGN has issued an apology to Harry, but no one from the royal family has said a thing. They obviously won’t be admitting to how they actually do business with the tabloids by saying sorry – that’s just bad optics.
