"The Unspoken Realities of Princess Kate's Public Image"

Despite a reserved approach by British media in reporting on Princess Kate's health, the online frenzy over her absence from public life escalated, with the British press largely showing restraint but still reporting on the rumors. Once it was revealed that Princess Kate is battling cancer, the British media quickly blamed American tabloids and media figures for recklessly amplifying the more outlandish rumors, highlighting the differences in libel laws between the two countries.

Prince Harry's UK court case faces uncertain outcome.

Prince Harry testified in a UK court case against Mirror Group Newspapers over alleged phone-hacking, becoming the first high-ranking British royal to take to the witness stand in over 130 years. Harry claimed that he and his wife, Meghan Markle, had been unlawfully targeted by the UK press for years, including via phone hacking. He is one of over 100 claimants suing MGN over allegations of unlawful information-gathering over a two-decade period. The trial is expected to conclude in June, with a verdict later in the year.

Prince Harry's Court Battle Against Tabloids: A Weak Argument or a Just Cause?

Prince Harry testified in a London court in his lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mirror tabloid, alleging that the paper unlawfully snooped on his life from 1996 to 2011. He accused journalists of using burner phones and destroying records, but had little evidence to support his claims. Harry is seeking accountability and reform of the British media, and the outcome of this case is uncertain. The Duke of Sussex's hostility towards the UK media runs through his memoir, "Spare," and he blames paparazzi for causing the car crash that killed his mother, Princess Diana.

Meghan Markle's Letter to King Charles Exposes Royal Family's Racism

Meghan Markle criticized the British media over reports that letters exchanged with King Charles played a part behind her decision not to attend his coronation. The Daily Telegraph reported that Meghan had written to the now king to express her concerns about unconscious bias in the royal family. Meghan's spokesperson denied the reports and urged the media to stop creating an "exhausting circus." Prince Harry will attend the coronation next month without Meghan, who will remain in California with their children.
