Prince Harry (35) and his wife Meghan (38) seem to be intensifying the fight against British tabloids. By letter, the couple, who now lives in Los Angeles and no longer work for the royal family, have given up working with four large sheets, reports the "Guardian" among others. The letter went to "The Sun", "Daily Mail", "Daily Express" and "Daily Mirror". Contact to the newspapers should only be through the lawyers, it should be necessary, it is said.
Among other things, Harry and Meghan accuse the newspapers of publishing "distorted and false" stories. The couple had previously announced that they would go to court on Mail on Sunday. The paper had published a personal letter that Meghan had sent to her father. Harry said at the time, among other things, "Simply put, it's bullying that scares and silences people. We all know that this is not acceptable at any level."
Right to reporting
The Guardian quotes from the letter from Harry and Meghan to the newspapers that their new media policy is not aimed at suppressing criticism or censoring correct reports. "The media have the right to report on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and to have their opinions, whether good or bad. But that cannot be based on a lie."
