In a revealing documentary aired on Thursday, Prince Harry expressed that his ongoing crusade against the British tabloids has played a significant role in the rift within the royal family. The Duke of Sussex opened up about his experiences, stating that he wished his family had joined him in his fight against invasion of privacy.

Last year, Prince Harry achieved a major victory when a judge found that phone hacking was "widespread and habitual" at the U.K.'s Mirror Group Newspapers. In the documentary titled "Tabloids On Trial," he shared that his public battle with the press, including being the first senior royal in over a century to testify in court, was a central factor in the fallout with his family.

Breaking from the traditional royal approach of "never complain, never explain," Prince Harry took the press to court despite opposition from his father, King Charles III. He also revealed that his older brother, Prince William, had secretly settled a complaint against Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers for a substantial sum of money.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, made the decision to distance themselves from royal life and relocate to the U.S. in 2020. Their departure was motivated by intrusions and what they perceived as racist attitudes towards Meghan, who is biracial. The couple later asserted that racial bias existed within the royal family, further straining Harry's relationship with his kin.

Discussing the strained bonds with his family, Prince Harry expressed difficulty in providing a response due to the intense media scrutiny and abuse he receives when discussing his family publicly. Despite the challenges, he remains determined in his fight against the tabloids.

His lawsuit against News Group, regarding allegations of phone hacking, is ongoing, and he has a similar case pending against the publisher of the Daily Mail. News Group issued an apology in 2011 for voicemail interception by its subsidiary, the now-defunct News of the World.

Prince Harry emphasized that he wished his family had taken a stand against media offenses for the greater good. He believes that the events unfolding in the public eye have shed light on the truth of the matter.

As Prince Harry continues his fight against tabloid intrusion, the repercussions of his lawsuit and the revelations surrounding his family's dynamics continue to make headlines.
