LONDON - Prince Harry launched a fierce attack on the "vile" press on Tuesday , blaming tabloids for destroying his adolescence and later relationships, as he gave evidence for almost five hours in his lawsuit against a tabloid publisher.
In his 50-page written witness statement and a day of cross-examination from MGN's lawyer Andrew Green, the younger son of King Charles said he had been targeted since 1996 when he was a schoolboy.Harry said the press would try to destroy his relationships with girlfriends, blaming them for his break-up with Chelsy Davy, for causing his circle of friends to shrink, and for bouts of depression and paranoia.
Asked to whom he was referring, he said: "Some of the editors and journalists that are responsible for causing a lot of pain, upset and in some cases - perhaps inadvertently - death." Looking relaxed but serious, and speaking softly but firmly, Harry, the first senior British royal to give evidence for 130 years, said thousands if not millions of stories had been written about him, as Green pressed him on whether he had read the MGN articles in question at the time they were published.
When Harry returned to the room after a short break in proceedings, he was greeted with cries of "Harry, we love you", by one small group waiting outside. Asked what he thought of Tuesday's accusations, Morgan told Sky News: "I didn't see it. But I wish him luck with his privacy campaign. Look forward to reading it in his next book."
