Prince Harry plans to defend his wife during emotional battle.
On the final day of evidence at London’s High Court in his case against Associated Newspapers Ltd., publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers, the Duke of Sussex spoke in emotional detail about the damage the publication’s investigation had caused his wife Meghan Markle.
“By standing up here and confronting them, this keeps happening to me,” Harry, 41, said in court on January 21, according to People. “And they have made my wife’s life absolutely miserable, Lord.”
During two hours of testimony, Prince Harry, who is suing the publisher along with Elton John, David Furnish, Elizabeth Hurley and Sadie Frost, further argued that his lawsuit would only increase negative publicity for him and Meghan.
“Throughout the course of this case, things have only gotten worse, not better,” the 41-year-old Duchess, who shares two children with her husband, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, told People magazine while holding back tears. “It is fundamentally wrong to put us all through something like this again. What is needed is an apology and some accountability. This is a terrible experience.”
