Unfaithful Prince Harry? His meaningful sentence in the middle of a trial

After a whirlwind visit to the United Kingdom on the occasion of the coronation of her father, King Charles III, on May 6, Prince Harry is back in London. Indeed, the youngest son of the late Princess Diana returned to his native land to testify in the trial who opposes it to Mirror Group Newspapers, which opened this Monday, June 5. The Duke of Sussex accuses, among other things, the tabloid The Mirror having hacked his voicemail. To support his statements, he had to go back to different periods of his life and in particular the time when he was in a relationship with Chelsy Davy. Prince Harry thus recognized the “errors“which he committed while in a relationship with the now 37-year-old Zimbabwean.”I was immatureI hadn’t really thought about my actions and I made a stupid decision – and my mistakes were played publicly“, he confided in a written statement obtained by the New York Times, this Tuesday, June 6, still in the context of his trial. Although Harry did not go into the details of this famous “stupid decision“which he took, his words were none other than his response to two articles the Daily Mirror wrote in January 2005 about him allegedly”flirted with a brunetteat a party while his longtime girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, was overseas.

One of the articles was titled:Harry’s girlfriend ready to ‘dump’ him“, while the other was titled: “Chelsy is not happy“. Harry, 38, gave his view and explained that the articles claimed that Chelsy had been “furious“against him and had him”spent a soap on the phone“, but the Duke said he does not”didn’t remember“if he and Chelsy had discussed this.”Since we were based in different countries, a large part of our relationship took place over the phoneso I know I would have talked to him a lot during that time because it was a difficult time for mebut I don’t remember his reaction” did he declare.

Growing distrust of loved ones

Prince Harry, who is now married to Meghan Markle, was in a relationship with Chelsy Davy from 2004 to 2011. In her book, Substitute (Spare), published in January 2023, he explains that he had separated from his ex in part because of the opinion that the late Queen Elizabeth II had on her. However, in his statement for his trial, Harry was quick to point out the other issues that plagued his relationship. Lilibet and Archie’s dad claimed that at the center of the disputes with his former girlfriend was the fact that they had growing distrust of loved ones. “At this point, Chelsy was already extremely cautious about our relationship and our circle of friends whom we trusted for information about us had considerably reduced“, revealed Harry. “Every time these kinds of stories were published, our relationship was strainedwe started to distrust everyone around us“.

The two articles of DailyMirror that the duke pointed to would have quoted “friends” or some “party goersas sources, but Harry insisted that the former couple’s phone calls were in fact not traced to anyone.So how could the defendant’s reporters know this?” he asked. Prince Harry sues the Mirror Group Newspaper Unlimited on the grounds that he believes this news group hacked into his phone and used “illegal interception of voicemailsto obtain information for his reporting on him over the past decades. The case is currently on trial at the High Court in London.
