Prince Harry’s ‘Brutal’ Reaction To Apology Issued By British Tabloid

In the long-running conflict between the tabloid media and Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, chalk another win for Harry: The Mail on Sunday in London apologized and issued a correction over a story that reported Harry had “turned his back” on his prized military associations.

It’s the third time this year a media outlet or photo agency apologized or corrected for something published that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex considered inaccurate, defamatory or intrusive.

This latest instance involved the same tabloid newspaper publisher, Associated Newspapers, that Meghan is already suing for copyright infringement and invasion of privacy over publication of a private letter she wrote to her estranged father in 2018.

It also comes after the Sussexes’ London lawyers, Schillings, sent a legal warning and then filed a lawsuit in November against the Mail on Sunday after the tabloid published its Harry-focused story in October. The lawyers labeled the story “false and defamatory,” according to The GuardianVanity Fair and Sky News.

The story Harry objected to alleged the duke, 36, a former British Army officer who values his royal connections to the military, failed to maintain contact with the Royal Marines after he stepped away from royal duties in March and moved with Meghan, 39, and baby Archie, 1, to California seeking more freedom, privacy and financial independence.

The couple’s move came after Harry negotiated a settlement with his royal family that would allow him to keep his military links, such as his role as the Captain-General of the Royal Marines.
