Harry says British press contributed to rift within the royal family

Britain’s Prince Harry has blamed the rift between him and much of the rest of the royal family on his ongoing battles with the press.

When asked about the extent to which his fight with the tabloid press “destroyed the relationship with your family,” Harry responded, “it was a hard question to answer because anything I say about my family results in a torrent of abuse from the press,” he added.

Harry and his wife, Meghan, have previously blamed the media for driving the couple to announce they were “stepping back” from their royal duties in 2020.

“William with a grim, steely obsession with control; Harry with tortured, vocal, frequently ill-judged condemnation” and a “never-ending flurry of lawsuits” against the media, Brown said.
