"This is clearly not just about the duchess."
Prince Harry escalationwar against British tabloids leftRoyal Observers abasoudi and friends ofprincess diana particularly worried. Those who were close to the end of Harry's mother fear his determination to take the press in the defense of his wife,Meghan murder, resurrected his grief andAnger in the media on hisThe death of the mother, which could ultimately "do more harm than good," according to oneRoyal Initiate.
"This is clearly not just about the duchess," said the initiate. "Harry holds the media responsible for the death of his mother. He must be terribly traumatic for him to relive what he thinks he is the same series of events that ended in a tragedy and changed his life forever. His anger on the circumstances surrounding Diana's death seems to fuel a large part of what he does to defend Meghan. even someMembers of the royal family Consider that it is an excessive reaction. "
It's pretty clear that Diana was on Harry's mind when he released hisDeeply personal and emotional statement Last week, jointly with the trial, Meghan has filed againstTheMail on Sunday To publish a private letter to his original father,Thomas Markle. According to its legal representation, it was a violation of privacy and the violation of copyright. In his statement - which was published on Sussexoficial.uk, not on theInstagram of the couple, or on theWebsite of the royal family-Harry made a direct connection between Diana and his wife. "I lost my mother and now I look at my wife falling victim of the same powerful forces," he said.
The royal insiders point out that while Harry called Meghan "one of the latest victims of the press in Taboid", the avalanche of the media's attention she has been submitted since her marriage in 2018 "generally positive". "The details of the sad relationship with his father who fueled a large part of the tabloid cover has been widely revealed by Mr. Markle himself," said an insider. "He went to the press with his story, so it is difficult to hold the media alone responsible."
A friend from Diana added: "Harry has repeatedly said that he deeply regrets not being able to protect his mother from harassing that she suffered in the hands of the media. In his mind, it's still going on and it is determined to Stop it. The truth is that situations are totally different. "
"Diana literally hurried by the paparazzi every time she went anywhere," said another insider. "She was mischievous. His marriage was dissecrated in the media time and at the media time. Meghan was never pursued by the media. She is left alone when she ventures. The press is still maintained At arm's length. All his appearances are closely controlled. There is no comparison between what the princess suffered and the Duchess press received. "
The temperature Royal CorrespondentValentineRecountTown and Country Harry seems to laminate all British media on their wife's coverage, including accredited outlets that have had a long history of cooperation with the royal family. It "seemed to slap all the royal media with the same brush and certainly tasted all the royal media tabloid with the same brush, in fact, more precisely in this case, it is an argument he had withTheMail on Sunday, "Low says Harry's statement.
Earlier this week, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Prince Harry had filed requests against owners ofThe sun,theDaily Mirror, and theWorld news (no longer in print) to intercept both his andPrince WilliamVoice messages. According toThe Guardian,The hacking would have occurred in the early 2000s during his discovery that journalists regularly acceded to several voice messages of public figures looking for a tabloid forage. "The general reaction within the family was surprised that Harry felt something that happened so long ago," said an initiate.
Similarly, in 1992, a transcript of Diana's long telephone conversation withJames Gilbey was published in a British tabloid where the heir alcohol said to the princess he loved him and she discussed his unfortunate marriage toPrince Charles. And those interested could call a special issue to listen to a recording of the call. According to the guard of Diana's body at the time,Ken Wharfe,Queen Elizabeth wanted tolaunch an official investigation In the subject, but the home secretaryKenneth Clarke would have opposed their veto the idea at the time. Diana has never published comment on history.
"Now that Harry is a father, it's only natural to protect his family," said an initiate. "But by constantly comparing Meghan in Diana and throwing the glove with the press can only encourage the most restrictive outlets to make even more negative stories. There is a reason why the royals have always lived"Never complain, never justify. '
A tabloid journalist told me, "The prince plays a dangerous game. If he thinks he can split all the written floors of him and his family, he is very wrong. Take an openly hostile tone to the media. Is something that no one in the royal family has already done, as much as they would have liked. Yes, the media need the royals, but as the queen knows too well, the royals have a lot of the media on their side. Diana realized that. "
