Prince Harry takes active action against reputation damage. He feels that he is "personally attacked" by a newspaper article in the "Mail on Sunday".
Prince Harry (36) apparently feels "personally attacked" by the coverage of the "Mail on Sunday". This emerges from court documents that have now become public and that the Duke of Sussex submitted to the High Court in London in November last year. Subject of dispute: The British newspaper claimed in an article on October 25, 2020 that Harry had also turned his back on the Royal Marines in the course of the "Megxit". He resigned his honorary role as captain general, and there has been little or no contact since then.
But Harry dismisses these allegations. As reported by The Telegraph, its lawyers would argue that the article "did great damage to its reputation." It is stressed that Harry "has a genuine ambition" to actively help current and former military personnel "by using his reputation and the platform he has through his military service." The grandson of Queen Elizabeth II (94) served in the British armed forces for ten years.
The newspaper rows back
After Harry took legal action against the editor of the Mail on Sunday, the newspaper published an apology in late December. It states, among other things: "We now know that Harry has been in private contact with individuals in the military, including the Royal Marines, since March to offer informal support."
