‘Prince Barry’: Reenactment of Harry’s court trial a ‘fairly accurate’ portrayalThe dramatic reenactment of Prince Harry’s court trial was “fairly accurate” in portraying how the Duke of Sussex tried to “pull at the heartstrings” of the judge, says writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue. 'People online have been saying it’s not Prince Harry but Prince Barry because of the nature of the re-enactment,' Ms Krakue told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “I think ‘theatre’ is the right way to describe it and I mean, it’s … fairly accurate in the way that Prince Harry was trying to pull at the heartstrings, or tug at the heartstrings of the judge in this particular case but unfortunately that’s not how a courtroom works. “A courtroom works based on facts and not your feelings.”

Prince Harry’s performance on the stand in court was ‘quite weak’Writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue says Prince Harry’s performance on the stand in court this week was “quite weak”. “He really had to admit a lot of the underline weaknesses in the case that he’s presented against the MGN Group,” Ms Krakue told Sky News Reporter Danica De Giorgio. “What he’s basically saying is that the MGN has between 1991 and 2011 has engaged in unlawful activities to try and get information about his life, including phone hacking which is the main bulk of this case. “He didn’t have the comfort of being in Oprah’s living room, he was being interviewed by a very seasoned barrister.”
