Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is set to participate in an interview for ITV’s upcoming documentary, ‘Tabloids on Trial,’ focusing on the issue of phone hacking. The interview marks the Duke’s first major media appearance since his court case with Mirror Group Newspapers concluded. The documentary, airing on ITV1 and ITVX at 9:00 PM on July 25, will feature interviews with other victims of tabloid intrusion, including Hugh Grant, Charlotte Church, and Paul Gascoigne.
In a social media post, ITV’s royal editor, Chris Ship, revealed that Harry will detail his reasons for fighting to expose the illegal activities of British tabloid newspapers. Rebecca Barry, ITV’s health correspondent and the interviewer for Prince Harry in the documentary, also took to social media to express her excitement for the upcoming broadcast.
‘Tabloids On Trial’ delves into Prince Harry’s mission to expose the illegal tactics used by the British tabloid press. The documentary also explores the extent to which those in charge at Fleet Street were aware of the scandal unfolding. The documentary aims to shed light on the practices employed by tabloids and the impact they have had on individuals like Prince Harry and others who have been thrust into the public eye.
This interview follows a string of other interviews and releases from Prince Harry, including his 2023 memoir ‘Spare,’ a tell-all Netflix documentary series, and ‘Harry & Meghan.’ These appearances have kept royal rumors buzzing and provided insight into the Duke’s views on the British monarchy and his experiences with the British tabloid press. Prince Harry has been a vocal critic of phone hacking and has filed four lawsuits against UK tabloid publishers, accusing them of indulging in phone hacking and other unlawful activities.
