Prince Harry accused the publisher of making his wife Meghan´s life "an absolute misery"

Angela Levin, a royal expert and major critic of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, has disclosed why the Duke turned his story to wife in privacy case.

The emotional Prince Harry on Wednesday blasted the publisher of two UK newspapers, accusing them of making his wife Meghan´s life "an absolute misery" as he finished testifying at London´s High Court.

Holding back tears, the prince said pursuing the years-long joint legal action against Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), had been "a horrible experience".

He and six others, including pop icon Elton John, accuse the two tabloids of privacy invasions and unlawful information gathering, in the prince´s last active legal case in his long-running crusade against some UK media.

"Having to sit here and go through this all over again and have them in their own defence claim that I don´t have any right to any privacy is disgusting," Harry said as he concluded several hours in the witness box.

"It´s a horrible experience, and the worst of it is that by sitting up here and taking a stand against them, like they have done through this litigation they continue to come after me. They´ve made my wife´s life an absolute misery."

Prince Harry has claimed that the publisher was the first to publicly disclose his former girlfriend Davy's name and the subsequent "intrusion was terrifying for Chelsy: it made her feel like she was being hunted".

"Their behaviour and treatment of Chelsy was not normal," he said. "I was really worried something bad was going to happen."

Amid this, Angela tweeted, “On 24 April 2025 Meghan said to people in US she is the happiest she has ever been. And happiest and grateful for such a supportive loving husband. She could now be furious that he is still going on about Chelsey Davy and told him off. Also she always wants to be where the action is.”
