Duke of Sussex: Queen wanted me to continue tabloid battle ‘to the end’
He blames the fight against the press as a ‘central piece’ in destroying his relationship with his family.
The Duke of Sussex claims that the late Queen wanted him to see his battle against tabloid newspapers “to the end”.
Harry gave his first major interview since the conclusion of his court case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) to the ITV documentary Tabloids On Trial, which aired on Thursday.
In clips released before the programme, he blamed his fight against the press as a “central piece” in destroying his relationship with his family.
The Duke was also asked towards the end of the documentary about claiming in a High Court filing that the late Queen, his grandmother, who died in 2022, “supported” his actions against the News Group Newspapers (NGN), publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct News Of The World.
He responded saying: “I wish … we had many conversations before she passed, and this is very much something that she supported.
“She knew how much this meant to me and … she’s very much out there, going see this through to the end, without question.”
