Prince Harry is being hailed as a “superhero” for taking on the British press. As many royal fans are probably aware by now, the Duke of Sussex is suing the Mirror Newspaper Group for invading his privacy and allegedly hacking his personal phone, among other things.

In his statement, the Duke of Sussex said, “I may not have a role within the Institution but, as a member of the British Royal family, and as a soldier upholding important values, I feel there’s a responsibility to expose this criminal activity in the name of public interest.”

If that weren’t enough, Harry also added, “I’ve always heard people refer to my mother as paranoid, but she wasn’t. She was fearful of what was actually happening to her and now I know that I was the same.”

Of course, it didn’t take long at all for many royal fans and critics alike to weigh in on the matter. Some have even said, “This boy– now the man, Prince Harry– is doing far more for the British people and the defense of ethical journalism than any Media Regulator or any body within the corrupt British Government. I hope he breaks the UK Media’s reign of terror in the name of Princess Diana,” along with, “His mom’s influence reigns supreme despite her not being there for the majority of his life. I think that’s incredible.”
