Andrew Marr says Prince Harry is clearly a wounded, damaged man - and he's turning into an insurgent political commentator calling for reform with a radical edge
He spoke about the Duke of Sussex's criticism of the Government and the relationship the press has with it.said he wanted to expose "criminality" because of the "public interest" during his phone hacking case against the Mirror's publisher.
"I think the first thing that's obvious is what an incredibly damaged, wounded man we're talking about here - a child who lost his mother in the most horrible of circumstances, and whose entire life has been played out in the most public and intrusive of ways, a life of paranoia, suspicion of friends, the revelation of deep personal secrets.
"No wonder he's angry, no wonder he talks about his own paranoia and fear of being physically attacked when photographers reach for a camera. 'Democracy fails when your press fails to scrutinise and hold the government accountable, and instead choose to get into bed with them so they can ensure the status quo."I may not have a role within the Institution but, as a member of the British royal family, and as a soldier upholding important values, I feel there's a responsibility to expose this criminal activity - assume he's talking about newspaper journalists not MPs or ministers - in the name of public interest.
