Prince Harry Accuses Newspaper of Hurtful Reporting on Breakup with Chelsea Davy
Prince Harry, 38, has taken the stand at the High Court, expressing his distress over a newspaper's coverage of his breakup with Chelsea Davy.
The Duke of Sussex claims that the articles not only caused him pain but also seemed to revel in their separation.
Specifically, he pointed to a story from November 2007 published in the Irish edition of the Sunday Mirror, which divulged details about their relationship.
In his written testimony, Prince Harry stated, “It reported that Chelsea and I had a secret meeting where I had begged her for a second chance.”
He further remarked, “These kinds of articles made me feel as though my relationship with Chelsea was always set to be doomed.”
However, GB News presenter Mark Dolan has challenged Prince Harry's assertions, suggesting that the Duke's own behavior played a role in the breakup.
Speaking on GB News to the Point, Dolan stated, “The world's least happy millionaire is moaning about his life.
He's blaming the media for his relationship not working out, I think the relationship didn't work because he's just an annoying numpty.”
Adding to the controversy, it has been leaked that Sam Cutmore Scott, Chelsea Davy's husband and a hotelier, intends to sue Prince Harry for involving his wife in the lawsuit.
According to the source, Chelsea ended her relationship with the Duke due to his excessive whining, unrelated to media pressure.
Chelsea currently enjoys a happy private life with her husband and son, so dredging up the past is potentially damaging to her well-being.
Meanwhile, concerns have been raised about Prince Harry's continued focus on his ex-girlfriend, Chelsea Davy.
GB News host Dan Witton and American journalist Megyn Kelly noted that in Prince Harry's witness statement, he mentioned Chelsea Davy approximately 118 times, compared to only five mentions of Meghan Markle.
This has led to speculation about whether Prince Harry has truly moved on from his past relationship.
Many of Prince Harry's grievances revolve around tabloid coverage of his breakup with Chelsea Davy, now known as Chelsea Yvonne Cutmore Scott.
One article he cited claimed that Ms. Davy berated him over the phone for flirting with another woman at a party.
Notably, the details of their phone conversations were not attributed to any sources, as stated in Prince Harry's written testimony.
Another article described an emotional phone call where Ms. Davy requested a trial separation.
Additionally, a journalist reported that Prince Harry had hung up on his father, Charles, after an argument about Ms. Davy.
Prince Harry emphasized that he had trusted Chelsea with highly private information and recalled frequently receiving missed calls, which he later suspected were signs of hacking.
Prince Harry also expressed bewilderment over how private details of his and Ms. Davy's vacations off the coast of Mozambique ended up in the tabloids.
He revealed that journalists and photographers would arrive at their hotel even before they did, leaving them with no privacy.
This constant intrusion took a toll on their relationship and became the primary reason for their decision to end it.
“We could also never understand how private elements of our life together were finding their way into the tabloids, and so our circle of friends became smaller and smaller,” Prince Harry lamented.
He admitted that the lack of trust led to bouts of depression and paranoia, expressing regret for cutting friends out of his life due to suspicions of leaks.
In response, lawyers for the publisher argued that most of Prince Harry's claims pertained to articles published between 1991 and 2011, which exceeded the six-year time limit for legal complaints regarding privacy violations.
Andrew Green, one of the company's lawyers, also contended in court that there was no need for the Daily Mirror journalist to resort to unlawful means, as information about Prince Harry had already been published by other news outlets.
Prince Harry disputed this assertion.
