Speaking in a preview of the one-off special program Tabloids on Trial, which airs on Britain’s ITV network on July 25, the prince discussed his unlawful information-gathering lawsuit win against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) last year.
In his on-camera discussion with ITV broadcaster Rebecca Barry, Harry said one particular article caused significant distress when it was published in 2005, titled: “Harry’s girl ‘to dump him'”
The article said that the royal’s then-girlfriend Chelsy Davy was planning on bringing an end to their relationship soon after photographs were published of him attending a party wearing a Nazi uniform.
The prince has opened up about his unlawful information-gathering lawsuits against the press in a new documentary.
The prince sued MGN, whose titles include the Daily Mirror and Sunday People newspapers, in 2019 over allegations that staff members engaged in or commissioned unlawful activity to obtain information about his private life, which was subsequently published.
The prince said that, between 1996 and 2010, over 140 articles had been sourced illegally through phone hacking, blagging, wiretapping or other illegal methods.
This included the dumping story, which was published in the Daily Mirror on January 15, 2005.
