'My deepest fear is history repeating itself. I’ve seen what happens when someone I love is commoditised to the point they are no longer treated or seen as a real person. I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces.'

In a lengthy and highly personal statement published on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s official website this evening, Harry said the royal couple had been driven to take legal action after “painful” impact of “relentless propaganda” against his wife from the British tabloid press.Referencing press coverage of his mother Princess Diana, the duke said his “deepest fear is history repeating itself”.
In his statement, Harry said he and Meghan believed in “media freedom and objective, truthful reporting” as a “cornerstone of democracy”.Addressing readers, he added: “Unfortunately, my wife has become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences – a ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son.
“She is the same woman she was a year ago on our wedding day, just as she is the same woman you’ve seen on this Africa tour.” Harry claimed readers were misled by “strategically omitting select paragraphs, specific sentences, and even singular words to mask the lies they had perpetuated for over a year”.
