In a historic moment, Prince Harry has become the first British royal to appear in the witness box since the 1890s.
The Duke of Sussex testified at the High Court in London as part of his lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers.
This groundbreaking move has sparked speculation about whether Harry will now take on the US media as well.
As Harry returned to the US after his court appearance, the tabloid magazine Globe, based in Boca Raton, Florida, featured his wife, Meghan, on its cover with the headline “Megan Bimbogate Explodes.”
This has led royal observers to wonder if it is time for Harry to launch a legal battle against the American media.
Supporters of Meghan are convinced that Harry will sue the tabloid for targeting his wife.
A new report suggests that the Duke of Sussex’s lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers is not only about seeking justice but also about putting an end to the abuse, intrusion, and hate that the British tabloid media has subjected his wife to.
According to the Telegraph, Prince Harry has revealed his motivation behind this latest court case.
It seems that Harry has been contemplating how to defend his wife without involving the Royal Family’s legal team, which prompted him to take on the lawsuit.
“I think it was a discussion on how to somehow find a way to stop the abuse, intrusion, and hate that was directed towards me and my wife,” Harry stated, expressing his desire to explore alternative courses of action.
In addition to the legal battles, the Sussexes’ lucrative deal with Spotify has come to an end.
Ingrid Seward, the Editor-in-Chief of Majesty Magazine and a Royal Biographer, believes that the Royal Family will find amusement in the loss of this flashy deal.
She points out that when the couple first arrived in California, they were inundated with lucrative offers from various companies.
Netflix and Spotify were among the first to sign deals with them, reportedly worth around $60 million combined.
Furthermore, Harry secured a publishing deal with Penguin Random House for his autobiography, which he will not have to write himself.
However, things have taken a turn for the couple.
Instead of being in the limelight, they now find themselves on a different path.
The Sussexes’ decision to scale back on content discussing the Royal Family suggests a desire for reconciliation.
While this may please the Royals, it puts Harry and Meghan in a challenging position as their private life comes with significant financial costs.
Ingrid Seward suggests that without the Sussexes’ criticism of the Royal Family, which they have indicated they will no longer engage in, their value diminishes.
She believes there are others with more talent and experience who can fill their shoes.
The couple’s expensive lifestyle requires a substantial income to sustain, despite their combined wealth.
While the Royal Family does not wish them harm, they feel hurt by the way the couple has disparaged the monarchy they have worked so hard to uphold.
This situation has deeply upset King Charles and Queen Camilla, and its repercussions may linger for some time.
As Prince Harry takes on the media and navigates the challenges of his personal and professional life, the world watches eagerly to see what lies ahead for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
