Meghan Markle, Prince Harry attack ‘media witch hunt’ when things get tough

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are marked for being comfortable with positive publicity.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have recently lost against a major newspaper publication in the UK over a defamation case, are called out for brushing the truth under the carpet.

Camilla Tominey wrote in The Telegraph: “Having been on the receiving end of Harry and Meghan’s 'truth', I admit to feeling rather vindicated following Mr Justice Nicklin’s judgment in the Prince’s case against Associated Newspapers Ltd.”

The expert adds: “The truth – the whole truth, not the Sussexes’ version of it – is that they have always been entirely comfortable with publicity, provided it is flattering. Write a negative headline, even an accurate one, and suddenly it becomes a media witch hunt.”

Prince Harry left the Royal Family back in 2020 alongside wife Meghan Markle and son, Prince Archie. The couple later accused the Royal Family of showcasing racism towards their son and publicly shared their grievances on television. Harry and Meghan now live in California, where they also welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
