Prince Harry appears in new ITV documentary as he vows to expose ‘illegal activities
Prince Harry will appear in a new documentary about phone hacking, ITV has announced.
The Duke of Sussex has sat down with reporter Becca Barry where he discussed his aim to expose what he describes as “illegal activities of Britain’s tabloid newspapers”.
The show, which also features Hugh Grant, Charlotte Church and Paul Gascoigne, will air on ITV1 on July 25 at 9pm.
The Duke of Sussex declared war against the British media long before he and wife Meghan Markle stepped down as senior working royals in 2020.
Harry has brought a total of six cases against the media over the last few years, with the latest one against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) regarding phone hacking being settled back in February, with the publishers paying all of the duke’s legal costs, plus around £300,000 extra in damages.
The royal has blamed UK tabloids for intruding his life and hounding his wife as well as his mother, the late Princess of Wales.
Harry’s case against the publisher of the Daily Mirror is one of several that he has launched in a campaign against the British media, which he blames for blighting his life and hounding both his late mother Princess Diana and his wife Meghan.
The royal has blamed UK tabloids for intruding on his life and hounding his wife as well as his mother, the late Princess of Wales.
He has also accused the press and the Government of being at “rock bottom”, “corrupt” and “biased”.
In a witness statement for his High Court privacy case against MGN last year, Harry said in a written statement: “In my view, in order to save journalism as a profession, journalists need to expose those people in the media that have stolen or highjacked the privileges and powers of the press, and have used illegal or unlawful means for their own gain and agendas.
