**Title: Prince Harry Faces Backlash Over Media Claims Amid Ongoing Royal Family Rift**

In the latest chapter of the ongoing saga involving and , social media is abuzz with criticism directed at for allegedly misrepresenting facts.

This uproar has sparked a lively debate and a sense of validation among his detractors.

The controversy ignited following comments made by Harry during an ITV documentary, where he suggested that a united front from the royal family against the media would have been advantageous.

The Daily Telegraph's promotional tweet for this segment was seen by many as excessively sympathetic to Harry, triggering a flood of negative responses.

Critics were quick to point out that Harry's claims contradict the historical actions of the royal family, particularly those of , who has actively taken a stand against unethical media practices.

's involvement in the phone-hacking scandal is particularly noteworthy.

He played a pivotal role in exposing the illegal activities that led to the Lucan Inquiry, a thorough investigation into the British press initiated in July 2011.

This inquiry not only unveiled the extent of the scandal but also resulted in significant reforms in media law, showcasing the royal family's commitment to holding the press accountable.

Harry's recent legal victory—receiving £140,000 in damages after a High Court judge ruled that unlawful methods were employed to gather evidence on him—has done little to bolster public sympathy.

The ruling revealed that 15 out of 30 stories published about him by MGM newspapers stemmed from invasions of his privacy.

Despite this win, many viewers are becoming increasingly skeptical of Harry's narrative of constant surveillance during his youth, as illustrated in the ITV documentary “Toys on Trial.”

Public sentiment appears to be shifting, with many expressing fatigue over Harry and Meghan's ongoing narrative.

A notable number of viewers admitted to turning off the documentary altogether, voicing their exhaustion with Harry's repeated grievances.

Comments on social media ranged from frustration to outright disinterest, with one user declaring, “I couldn't stand it, complete switch off,” while another simply stated, “Wouldn't dream of watching ITV.”

As Harry continues to link his estrangement from the royal family to his conflicts with the press, viewer engagement seems to wane.

Critics have pointed out that Harry and Meghan seem intent on rewriting history to fit their narrative, assuming that the public has a short memory.

However, this strategy is encountering increasing pushback, as platforms like X work to debunk the couple's claims and offer alternative perspectives.

A source speaking to Express UK remarked that Harry's inclination to air grievances publicly could ultimately tarnish his reputation and exacerbate the rift with his family.

The long-standing royal motto of “never complain, never explain” reflects the family's desire to avoid further media storms.

While some of Harry's concerns may hold merit, the family is reluctant to engage in more public disputes.

The source further suggested that a media blackout, coupled with rebuilding trust between Harry and the royal family, might pave the way for improved relations.

However, as long as Harry persists in making comments about the royal family, the chances of reconciliation appear slim.

The royal family seems determined to steer clear of any more negative press or public spats.
