Prince Harry Blames Press Intrusion For Unraveling His Relationship With Family

If you say the Oprah tell-all, ‘Spare,’ Netflix docuseries ‘Harry and Meghan,’ Meghan mockingly re-enacting her first curtsy to the late Queen Elizabeth for the public pleasure, Harry banging on about ‘generational pain,’ caused the rift between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, you’re partly wrong, in Harry’s view at least.

Prince Harry – Says the Press “Destroyed” His Relationship With His Family

On Thursday July 25, Prince Harry’s interview with ITV will air. In highlights of the interview, we saw Harry talk about the profound effects press intrusion had on his life and how it affected his relationships.

We had previously heard Harry claim during a court session that phone hacking and press pressure led to the dissolution of his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy. Now in a recent interview, he is blaming it as the reason a massive rift currently exists between him and his family.

In a preview clip from the documentary, journalist Becca Barry is seen asking the royal: “To what extent do you think your determination to fight the tabloids destroyed your relationship with your family?

To this, Harry responds, “It is a hard question to answer because anything I say about my family results in a torrent of abuse from the press. I have made it very clear that this is something that needs to be done.

Harry continues, “It would be nice if we did it as a family, I believe from a service standpoint and when you are in a public role these are the things we should be doing for the greater good. I am doing this for my reasons.”

Barry then asks: “What do you think of their decision not to fight in the way you have?”

Harry responds, “I think that everything that has played out has shown people what the truth of the matter is, for me the mission continues. I think as you say, it has caused part of a rift.”

Speaking of his victory against Mirror Group Newspapers, he boasts, “To go in there and come out and have the judge rule in our favour was obviously huge. To be able to achieve that in a trial is a monumental victory.”
