Prince Harry on Tabloid Battle: Princess Diana 'Wasn’t Paranoid’ About Hacking

Published 2024-07-25
High profile celebrities including Hugh Grant, Charlotte Church and Prince Harry have opened up to ITV News about their experiences with the tabloid press.

In a new ITV documentary, Tabloids on Trial, Prince Harry described the impact stories printed in the media had on his and his late mother Princess Diana’s life.

When asked if phone-hacking resulted in paranoia, he said: “It could be paranoia but then when you're vindicated it proves that you’re not being paranoid."

While it hasn't been proven in court that Diana was also a victim of hacking, the Duke related his experiences to his late mother's and said "she wasn't paranoid".

The documentary will be broadcast on July 25th at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

    Funny how he hates it when he receives abuse from the press yet has no regard for the abuse he and his wife has thrown at his family for 4 years. What a hypocrite
  • Diana would not have been the first person to have her phone hacked. That started in the 1890s, only back then it was called phone tapping.
  • Hazbeen’s moaning on and on about something that happened over 20 years ago is baffling. This issue was resolved in court and money distributed to charity. He's a famewhore, desperate for attention. Its sickening.
  • @thisisfab61
    He is no longer in the royal family he’s on this own
  • @Sonyag1
    Will Harry EVER move on with his life?
  • @pennyyoung3997
    I do not want to see these two people on this channel. They are no longer Royal.
  • What is he talking about the PRESS he’s the one bashing his family with that angry tone he speaks in ? The press reported what HE SAYS ???? Now he doesn’t like it??? What next what a mess 😢
  • @lebosisings
    Less than a minute in and you see Princess Diana twice having to press Harry’s hand down when is pointing his finger…. Funny how he is still pointing the finger, his Mum would be trying to stop him point the finger now!!
  • Harry is destroying all the goodwill and the legacy of his mother every time he opens her mouth and uses her for clout.
  • @justjoy4239
    Because she was constantly calling the paps herself maybe? Kinda like his wife?😊
  • What a clown - why does he continue to get air time --- he left 4 years ago and is not missed - surely you find some other topic for click bait?
  • @angieroy2576
    grow a pair Harry- you are constantly courting press attention - we are sick of it
  • @Chipoo88
    I can’t make out whether he is completely deluded/brainwashed or just blatantly telling lies and still trying to get away with it
