In a revealing new documentary set to air on ITV, the Duke of Sussex has opened up about the ongoing tensions between him, his father, King Charles, and his brother, the Prince of Wales.

He attributes much of this discord to his battles with British tabloids, shedding light on how media scrutiny has strained familial ties.

The Duke’s candid remarks come as he discusses the contrasting ways in which he and his family have dealt with the relentless pressure from the press.

He believes that his confrontational approach has played a significant role in the ongoing feud.

Over the past few years, the Duke has taken a firm stance against certain tabloids, launching legal action against four newspapers for alleged phone hacking and other unethical practices.

While the Duke pursues legal action against News Group Newspapers (NGN), his brother, the Prince of Wales, reportedly settled with the same publisher back in 2020, receiving a substantial payout.

This divergence in their approaches has raised eyebrows, with some speculating about a secret agreement between the royal family and NGN, as suggested by Sky News.

During an interview segment promoting the documentary “Tabloids on Trial,” ITV reporter Rebecca Barry posed a poignant question to the Duke: “To what extent do you think your determination to fight the tabloids destroyed the relationship with your family?” The Duke didn’t shy away from the inquiry, acknowledging that his commitment to confronting the tabloids is indeed a crucial factor in the rift.

He expressed the challenges of discussing these personal matters publicly, noting that any mention of his family often leads to a barrage of negative media coverage.

This reality makes it difficult for him to navigate his relationship with the press while maintaining his family ties.

Moreover, the Duke urged his family members to join him in addressing the issue of tabloid intrusion.

He believes that confronting the media collectively would send a powerful message.
