In part of the testimony reported by CNN, the duke expressed his frustration with the way he was treated by the media during his lifetime.

“All my life I’ve been misled by the press, I’ve covered up wrongdoing and I’m sitting here in court knowing they (have) evidence in front of them and that Mr. Green (MGN’s lawyer) is suggesting I’m speculating… I’m not sure what to say about that ,” said Harry.

Harry spoke at the trial about the impact the media coverage had on his emotional state and recalled his mother who died after being hounded by the paparazzi.

In addition, he mentioned that the British press cast doubt on the paternity of King Charles by announcing that James Hewitt was his biological father and not the monarch, which had a negative impact on his life. He also emphasized that media harassment contributed to the end of his relationship with ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
