AceShowbiz - Prince Harry is taking legal action against two more British tabloids. Buckingham Palace reveals to BBC that the Duke of Sussex has launched a new lawsuit against the owners of the Sun and the Daily Mirror over phone-hacking allegations.
The phone-hacking claim came just days after Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle sued another British tabloid Mail on Sunday for unlawfully publishing a private letter she wrote to her father.
Harry said his wife became "one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences - a ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son."
"There is a human cost to this relentless propaganda, specifically when it is knowingly false and malicious, and though we have continued to put on a brave face - as so many of you can relate to - I cannot begin to describe how painful it has been," he continued. "Because in today's digital age, press fabrications are repurposed as truth across the globe. One day's coverage is no longer tomorrow's chip-paper."
The father of one also recalled how his late mother Princess Diana went through similar ordeals, "I've seen what happens when someone I love is commoditised to the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real person. I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces."
